About Craig
Craig Johnstone welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions or major life changes. He is experienced supporting people with relationship and family strains, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, anger and career uncertainty. Craig also offers help for trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, LGBT concerns and compassion fatigue.
Craig uses a straightforward, person-centred style. He listens first and helps each person find what matters to them. Sessions are conversational and paced to suit the individual rather than following a fixed script.
Background and approach
With three years of experience he has worked with a range of concerns and life stages. Craig adapts his approach to each person’s situation and helps set manageable steps for change. He focuses on immediate practical ways to cope while also exploring deeper patterns when it feels useful.
People can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through difficult feelings and decisions. Craig aims to make sessions easy to follow and to leave people with things they can try between appointments. He supports people who want a new direction or need help getting back on track.
Craig is accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He offers sessions in English and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support
In practice Craig adapts the person-centred approach to the online setting by creating a steady, conversational space. He helps people set small, practical goals and checks in on what is working between sessions. Together they decide which techniques or focuses best match the client’s needs and goals in a collaborative way.
Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals and can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when that matters. Phone sessions work well for those with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and to keep contact when travel or schedules are difficult.
