About Craig
Craig Johnstone is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, anger and relationship and family concerns. He also supports people facing changes in career, parenting pressures, eating issues, self-esteem struggles and compassion fatigue.
Craig uses a straightforward, person-centred way of working. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on clear, practical steps to manage day-to-day problems. He listens without judging and helps clients talk through what is getting in the way of feeling better.
Clients who want to change direction in life can work on decision-making, planning and coping strategies. Those dealing with loss or grief look at realistic ways to carry on while sitting with difficult feelings. People experiencing anger or repeated frustration can practise noticing triggers and choosing different responses.
Sessions include space to reflect and to try out new approaches between meetings. Craig uses conversation and gentle challenge to help people test what works for them. Progress is often built from small changes that add up over time.
If a person is considering therapy, Craig asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. He accepts clients from the UK and international enquiries are also possible. Costs vary by location and sessions are billed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
Client-centred care and online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the conversation. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said and works on practical steps the person wants to try. This approach suits issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship friction and anger because it starts from the client's priorities.Working online with a counsellor often focuses on clear, manageable goals. The therapist and client decide together which approaches to use and adjust them as they go. That collaborative way of choosing methods helps if someone is unsure what will help most for their anger or mood problems.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it simpler to fit meetings into a working day, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when full sessions are not needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth, while video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Registered or accredited professionals can guide clients in picking the best format to suit their needs and routines.
