About Starnta
Starnta Johal NCPS is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She uses a person-centred way of working to help people talk through difficult feelings and understand their patterns. Starnta aims to offer short blocks of work or longer-term sessions depending on what a person needs. She also runs single-session options and brief 4-6 week courses when these suit someone’s situation.
Her background includes work with survivors of domestic and sexual abuse and bereavement support through Cruse. She describes herself as drawing on multiple approaches rather than one single model. That practical mix helps when people bring overlapping issues such as anxiety, grief, relationship strain or parenting concerns.
Sessions are designed to be straightforward and conversational. Starnta listens for the root of a problem and helps people try small, practical changes between meetings. She also supports those coping with panic, trauma-related reactions, self-harm thoughts, or challenges to self-esteem.
She works with people facing life changes, addictions, intimacy questions, and multicultural issues. Additional focus areas include attachment difficulties, divorce and separation, social anxiety and young adult issues. Starnta offers care in English and does not take international clients.
To begin, people follow the site’s Start Therapy steps and complete the short matching questionnaire. From there they can book times that fit their schedule and discuss whether brief or longer work is the best next step.
How her approaches shape online work
Starnta uses a person-centred approach that focuses on listening, understanding and reflecting what matters to the client. This helps people who need space to make sense of their feelings and decide on the next steps.She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past distress or traumatic events are central to what someone brings. That approach concentrates on stabilising reactions and building skills to manage distressing memories and triggers.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Starnta will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and suggest whether a person-centred way, trauma-focused work or some CBT-informed strategies fit best. The plan is agreed together and adjusted as progress is made.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy into busy lives, for example by avoiding travel, making it easier to attend around school or work, or allowing shorter check-ins when needed. A clear discussion about practical arrangements happens when scheduling so sessions match everyday rhythms and goals.
