Craig Johnstone , BACP

Craig Johnstone acknowledges that beginning therapy often requires courage and that taking that first step is significant. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and difficulties related to addictions, as well as those seeking a fresh direction in life. He provides tailored conversations and treatment plans that respond to each person's unique circumstances, drawing on a client-centered approach that emphasizes respect, sensitivity and compassion. Craig holds BACP, which indicates membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects his professional training and commitment to standards of practice. Based in the United Kingdom, he has supported clients through relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, eating and parenting concerns, anger and self-esteem issues, career transitions, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. He also offers assistance to people within LGBT communities and those managing recovery or behavioural patterns that affect daily life. Craig is accepting new clients and works with people both in the UK and internationally, adapting session format to meet practical needs and personal preferences.

Around 1 in 6 adults experience depression, and in the UK over 8 million people live with an anxiety disorder at any one time - contexts Craig keeps in mind while offering empathetic, client-focused support and practical pathways toward change.

Client-Centered Care Delivered Online

Craig practices client-centered therapy, an approach that places the individual's experience at the heart of the work. This method emphasizes empathetic listening and non-directive support, helping people explore feelings and make their own choices about change; it is often useful for issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and coping with addictions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Craig works collaboratively with each person to identify what feels most helpful. He tailors conversations and plans to individual needs, goals and preferences so that the pathway of therapy evolves together rather than being imposed.

Online therapy with Craig is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and lifestyles. These options make it easier to access a licensed professional from different locations, support continuity of care during life changes, and allow people to choose the format that best fits their comfort and routine.
