About Craig

Craig Johnstone recognises that beginning therapy often requires courage and acknowledges the importance of taking that first step. He brings focused experience supporting people dealing with stress, depression, anxiety, grief and addictions, and works with those who are seeking a new direction in life or a fresh start. Craig adapts his approach to suit each person he meets, shaping conversations and a treatment plan around individual needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

He approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion, aiming to create a space where concerns can be explored openly. Craig is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects his commitment to recognised professional standards. He practises from the United Kingdom and is available to work with international clients.

Craig highlights wider mental health concerns to remind people they are not alone - noting that around 1 in 6 adults experience depression and that in the UK over 8 million people live with an anxiety disorder at any one time. He is ready to help those who want support managing difficult emotions, making life changes or finding new coping strategies.

Client-Centered Support and Flexible Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy is the primary approach used by Craig Johnstone. This method focuses on listening without judgement, helping people explore their feelings at their own pace while the therapist provides empathy and understanding. It is well suited to those working through anxiety, depression, grief or a desire to change life direction because it emphasises the person’s own strengths and priorities.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be collaborative. Craig will discuss what feels most helpful, consider personal goals and preferences, and adapt the way sessions are conducted to best support progress. This collaborative stance helps shape a plan that fits each person’s circumstances.



Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. These formats make it easier to access support from the United Kingdom or internationally, reduce travel time and allow people to engage in the way that feels most comfortable, while still working with a registered professional.
