About Kamar

Kamar Johnson is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationships, low self-esteem and depression, and helps with issues such as motivation and confidence.

He starts from the view that clients know their own stories and strengths. Sessions focus on talking through what feels most urgent, and on practical steps a person can try between meetings. The aim is to build clearer thinking and more constructive habits rather than quick fixes.

Kamar uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. He draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow what the client brings, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and psychodynamic ideas to consider past patterns that keep repeating.

People come to him with a wide range of concerns, including relationship strains, career doubts, identity questions, and feelings of guilt or shame. He also works with challenges linked to abandonment, attachment or codependency, and with panic or social anxiety.

In sessions he listens for the practical barriers in a person’s life and tests small changes that can make a difference. He encourages routine practices that support emotional regulation and clearer decision-making. If a different emphasis is needed, he adjusts the focus collaboratively with the client.

How his approaches translate to online work

Kamar uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural and psychodynamic ideas. Client-Centred Therapy means the session follows what the person brings and focuses on immediate concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions, and is useful for anxiety, panic and problematic patterns. Psychodynamic ideas help identify repeating life patterns and where old experiences still influence current choices.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try ways of working that fit those aims. That collaborative adjustment can include shifting more towards practical CBT techniques or spending more time examining relational patterns depending on what helps.

If you want to use online sessions, confirm the formats available before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work or family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discussing session length and frequency makes it simpler to fit counselling into a normal week without making promises about particular session types.
