About Craig
Craig Johnstone is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and addiction. He also supports those who want to change direction in life, rebuild after loss, or cope with relationship and family strain. Craig works in English and is based in the United Kingdom.
He uses a client-centred approach, which means the conversation is shaped by the person in the room. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace. With three years of practice, Craig draws on direct experience supporting people through trauma, eating concerns, parenting pressures, career uncertainty and compassion fatigue. His way of working aims to create space to talk, reflect and try small changes between sessions.
Sessions are planned around each person’s needs, so goals and methods can change over time. Craig emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion in every meeting, and he adapts the dialogue to suit individual circumstances. If you are considering therapy, he asks that you select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions according to availability.
This begins a process of matching goals, scheduling and the practical details of working together.

Client-centred approaches and online working
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving the client space to lead the conversation. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what is said and helps people find their own solutions. This approach is often useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, grief and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods as goals change. This is a collaborative process where the person’s needs and preferences guide decisions about focus and pace.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins around work or family commitments. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use remote sessions to help people maintain continuity of care while juggling everyday responsibilities.
