Tracey Johnstone, NCPS

Tracey Johnstone is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and life changes. She works with individuals dealing with grief, trauma, relationship worries and parenting strains. Tracey aims to make first steps into therapy feel manageable and straightforward.

She is a registered member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS, and has three years of practice in the United Kingdom. Her approach is person-centred, which means sessions are shaped around each person’s pace and priorities. Clients set the goals and Tracey supports them in finding ways forward.

Tracey also uses trauma-focused methods when working with people affected by abuse, painful past events or ongoing trauma reactions. In these sessions she helps people process difficult memories and reduce the ways these memories cause distress in daily life.

Practical concerns are part of the work. Tracey talks through coping strategies for stress, supports people in managing symptoms of ADHD and bipolar when present, and helps carers handle caregiver strain. She also addresses issues such as body image, commitment worries and problems arising from divorce or separation.

Her style is direct but warm. Sessions focus on building understanding, trying out new ways of coping, and setting realistic steps to make life feel more manageable. Prospective clients should check current session options before booking.

Approaches for online work and practical benefits

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens with respect and helps clients identify their own goals and next steps. This approach suits people wanting a calm, steady process to talk through life changes and self-esteem concerns.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the effects of distressing events. It involves working carefully with difficult memories and the reactions they cause, helping people find ways to reduce ongoing distress and improve daily coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Tracey will work together with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as progress is made.

For practicalities, please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer talking without being on camera or who need sessions that fit around work or caring responsibilities.
