Craig Johnstone

Craig Johnstone welcomes people who are finding life hard and who want a different way forward. He works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions and anger. He also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, eating issues, career changes and compassion fatigue.

He uses a client-centred style that focuses on the person in front of him. That means conversations are guided by what matters to the client. Craig aims to listen without judgement and to adapt sessions to each persons needs.

Sessions are practical and plainspoken. Craig helps people talk through upsetting events, develop coping skills and consider new directions in life. He pays attention to how feelings show up in day-to-day life and works with clients to find manageable steps forward.

Craig has three years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is shown as BACP in his details.

People often start with a short conversation to explain concerns and agree what to focus on. Craig invites clients to move at their own pace and to shape therapy around their goals. He aims to make the process understandable and usable for busy lives, not overwhelming or complicated.

How client-centred therapy works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding from the client's viewpoint. The therapist offers a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person's concerns guide each session. This approach can help with issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and anger by making it easier to talk about feelings and decide on personal goals.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Craig will collaborate with each person to agree what feels helpful, what to try first and how to adapt things as progress is made. He treats the choice of approach as a shared decision based on needs, goals and preferences.

Practical benefits of working with a therapist online include fitting sessions into a busy day and reducing travel time. Online work can make it simpler to schedule shorter check-ins or regular weekly sessions that suit everyday life. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find that being able to join from wherever they are helps them keep therapy steady alongside work, family and other commitments.
