About Craig

Craig Johnstone welcomes people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions and trauma and abuse. He also supports those facing relationship or family strain, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, anger, eating difficulties, career questions and big life changes. Craig is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and speaks English.

Craig works in a straightforward, respectful way. He uses a client-centred approach that focuses on the person rather than labels.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to give space to be heard, to make sense of feelings, and to find practical next steps that fit everyday life. He tailors conversations to each person. Some sessions look at immediate coping skills.

Others focus on longer-term change and clearer choices. Craig keeps his language plain and uses short, practical tasks when helpful. Craig has three years of experience working with people from different backgrounds.

He draws on that experience to offer calm, steady support when emotions feel overwhelming. His aim is to help people feel more able to manage day-to-day demands. Therapy can start with small steps.

Craig asks a few questions to match needs and then agrees the best way to meet them. He offers sessions in formats that suit modern life, so people can fit therapy into busy schedules.

Ways of working Craig names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client‑centred care online and practical support

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens without judgement, follows the person's pace and helps them make sense of feelings. This approach suits people coping with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and life changes who want a supportive space to be heard.

In practice, sessions are collaborative. The therapist and client work together to pick what will help most next - whether that is short-term coping strategies or exploring deeper patterns. Finding the right way to work is part of the process and the approach can change as needs and goals shift.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone calls save bandwidth and can fit into a work break, live chat is useful for brief check-ins and messaging suits people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and to keep contact between sessions when needed.
