About Mignon
Mignon Johnson welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious or stuck. She aims to create a calm, steady space where people can say what is hard and start to find clearer ways forward. Mignon uses straightforward language and practical ideas so parents and carers can fit therapy into busy lives.
She is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registered counsellor with ten years' experience. Her background combines a BA (Hons) and an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling that was accredited by the BACP.
Background and approach
This training covered person-centred, psychodynamic, mindfulness and cognitive-behavioural approaches. Mignon draws on attachment-informed ideas alongside acceptance and commitment and emotion-focused work. She focuses on the person in front of her and adapts methods to the issue they bring that day.
Sessions often include normalising feelings, practical exercises and conversations about values and goals. People contact her about stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting pressures and work-related strain. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress, body image, addiction and ADHD-related difficulties.
Her style is collaborative and calm. She aims to help people notice what matters to them and take small, manageable steps towards better coping. Mignon practises from the United Kingdom and works with people in English.
To begin someone completes a brief matching questionnaire and then books sessions according to the counsellor's schedule. Payments run on a cancellable subscription model where cost varies by location and the counsellor's availability.

Sessions & fees
Using attachment and values work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify personal values and take small steps towards them even when feelings are difficult; it is useful for anxiety, stress, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds affect current reactions and intimacy problems. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being heard and accepted, creating space for people to speak about what matters without judgement.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with the client to explore goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they may try one method or blend different approaches and adjust as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions take place. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation when discussing relationships and emotions. Phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when video is difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for ongoing check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping focus on the work they want to do.
