About Craig

Counsellor Craig Johnstone, BACP, has three years' experience and works from the United Kingdom supporting people with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and depression. He also helps people facing relationship or family strain, eating concerns, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, career decisions, and coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. Craig offers a calm conversational approach grounded in client-centred therapy.

Craig focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions are generally used to talk through current problems, identify what matters to the person, and try small changes that can reduce pressure day to day. He aims to help people who want to change direction in their lives or find new ways to manage ongoing difficulties.

In practice Craig listens for each person's priorities and then shapes the sessions around those goals. He uses client-centred methods, which means the person sets the pace and the topics. The work can include exploring emotions, building coping routines, and planning simple next steps between sessions.

Craig’s background includes three years of direct therapeutic work and registration with the BACP. He works in English and accepts clients from the UK and internationally. Costs vary with location and sessions use a cancellable subscription model.

To start, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. This initial step helps match priorities and set a practical plan for how to proceed.

How client-centred work translates to online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening to the person's concerns and following their pace. In practice this means the therapist reflects what the person says, asks questions to clarify priorities, and helps the person decide what to work on next. It can help with anxiety, depression, grief, stress and decisions about life changes.

The approach supports practical problem-solving alongside emotional exploration. The therapist and person work together to identify small steps and coping techniques. That joint decision-making helps tailor the focus to the person's goals and preferences as therapy continues.

Different session arrangements can make it easier to fit work into daily life. The biography does not specify which remote formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful because they can save travel time, fit a shorter check-in into a work break, or choose audio-only contact when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals adapt the pace and methods to suit each person's situation.
