About me

 I’m Katie Johnston, owner of Busy Minds Counselling. As a neuro-diverse counsellor with an MSC in Pluralistic Counselling, I care about using my skills to help others gain a new perspective. My approach is to keep things simple and make the experience of counselling as accessible as possible.

I provide a safe and confidential space to explore your concerns and work collaboratively to build a therapeutic relationship to understand you without judgement and to support your growth and change to achieve the outcomes you want. Working with me will be a collaborative experience as I listen with empathy and help you explore creative solutions to the challenges you face. 

I’m what’s known as a pluralistic counsellor which means my approach is not defined by one way of working. I have the skills to work across a range of modalities and bring lots of different tools and techniques to our sessions. I often think of it like cooking; it’s like having access to lots of different ingredients that I can choose from to make the chosen dish to taste, instead of only having enough to make the same single dish.
