Mignon Johnson

Mignon Johnson is a BACP-accredited, trauma-informed counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She combines attachment-focused EMDR Therapy with a range of humanistic and integrative approaches to support people working through trauma and other life challenges.

Her formal qualifications include a BA Hons and a BACP-accredited Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling. She also holds professional memberships with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling Society (NCS).

Alongside formal training, Mignon draws on lived experience of adverse childhood events, ongoing personal therapy, clinical supervision and continuing professional development. This blend of personal insight and professional learning informs a practice grounded in psychological theory and guided by empathy.

Her initial training covered Humanistic methods, including Person-Centred therapy, Psychodynamic work with an emphasis on attachment theory, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt and inner child work, Transpersonal approaches such as mindfulness, and Behavioural tools like CBT. Since qualifying she has trained in EMDR Therapy and completed CPD-accredited courses in Pluralistic Therapy, bereavement work, NLP Practitioner training, outdoor therapy, and Understanding Domestic Violence and Abuse Levels 1 and 2.

Mignon’s practice integrates EMDR with psychodynamic, values-based, pluralistic and person-centred methods, attending to the client in the here and now on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. She frames therapy as a collaborative process that follows the client’s lead, combining clinical theory and the unique needs of each individual.

She normally addresses the issues clients bring to each session, particularly those listed in her specialities section, and tailors interventions to match clients’ goals and preferences. Some person-centred techniques she may use include simple but powerful acts of acknowledgement and validation of a client’s feelings and experiences.
