About Craig

Craig Johnstone is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has three years' experience. He works with common problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions and anger. He also supports people facing relationship strain, career crossroads, parenting pressures and self-esteem difficulties.

He takes a straightforward, client-centred approach. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of him. That means listening, reflecting, and helping people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviour that keep problems stuck.

Craig aims to help people make practical changes. He talks through coping strategies for intense feelings and helps clients plan small steps they can manage between meetings. For someone living with another person’s anger, or for someone who loses their temper, he looks at triggers and safer ways to respond.

His work also covers longer-term issues like grief and recovery from addiction. He supports people who want to change direction in life, by clarifying values and priorities and trying out different ways of behaving. Sessions are straightforward and focused on everyday problems.

Craig offers sessions in English and accepts clients internationally. Before booking, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Craig uses client-centred work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on honest listening and reflective dialogue. The therapist follows the person's lead, helping them to name feelings and decide what matters most. This approach can help with anger that stems from stress, relationship strain or long-held resentment by encouraging clearer self-understanding and choice.

The best approach is discovered together. Craig works collaboratively to match methods to a client's goals and preferences. That means trying things out, checking what helps, and changing direction if needed so the work feels useful and relevant.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Confirm the current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Many people find online meetings easier to schedule around work, quieter for short check-ins, or simpler when they prefer not to travel. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, commonly use online work to make it easier to keep regular appointments and to maintain momentum between sessions.
