Tracey Johnstone , NCPS

Tracey Johnstone is a UK-qualified practitioner and a registered member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), a professional membership organisation that recognises standards in counselling and psychotherapy. With three years of clinical experience, she supports people facing a wide spectrum of emotional and psychological challenges, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bereavement and grief, burnout, low mood, self-esteem and confidence difficulties, motivation problems, and major life transitions.

Her practice is grounded in a person-centred way of working, which means therapy is shaped around each individual rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Tracey emphasises collaboration, offering a respectful and non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly. She sees the person as the expert in their own experience and adapts pace, focus, and techniques to fit each client’s needs and goals.

Beginning therapy can feel daunting, and Tracey recognises that taking that first step requires courage and self-care. She is committed to guiding people through the therapeutic process with empathy, professional standards, and steady support, helping them work toward clearer understanding and practical ways to cope with life’s challenges.

Client-Centered and Trauma-Focused Care Online

Tracey works from a client-centered approach, which focuses on listening deeply to each person and shaping sessions around their values, pace, and goals. This method helps people who are dealing with low self-esteem, motivation issues, relationship concerns, and life transitions by placing their experience at the heart of the work.

She also uses trauma-focused therapy to address the impacts of traumatic events and abuse, helping individuals process difficult memories and reduce the ways trauma affects day-to-day functioning. This approach is practical and paced to the needs of the person seeking support.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tracey will discuss options with each person, exploring what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust methods as therapy progresses.

Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without the constraints of travel or fixed office hours. These options allow for flexible scheduling, continuity of care during life changes, and easier integration of therapy into busy routines.
