About Tracey
Tracey Johnstone offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or life changes. She is a UK practitioner and a member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). Tracey uses a calm, person-focused manner to help people talk through difficult feelings and decide on next steps.
She spends sessions listening first, then working with each person to set goals that feel manageable. Conversations are paced to suit the person rather than following a fixed script.
How Tracey works
Tracey encourages practical steps you can try between meetings as well as reflection in the room. Her practice covers emotional pain from trauma and abuse, grief and bereavement, and pressures from work or caring roles. She also supports people with relationship worries, parenting strain, career decisions, and challenges linked to attention differences or mood instability.
Tracey draws on client-centred ways of working, which means the person in front of her shapes what comes next. She also uses trauma-focused methods when addressing the after-effects of difficult events. Both approaches aim to make therapy relevant to the person's life and goals.
With three years of professional experience, Tracey combines practical suggestions with a respectful, non-judgemental tone. People looking for steady, empathetic support to manage immediate worries or to work through longer-standing issues may find her style helpful.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches online and what they offer
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person rather than a set method. The therapist listens closely, reflects back what they hear and helps the person set goals at their own pace. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and moments of life change.Trauma-Focused Therapy looks directly at how past distressing events continue to affect day-to-day life. It uses structured conversations to help reduce the intensity of intrusive memories and overwhelming reactions, and to build helpful coping patterns after traumatic experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tracey will discuss options and decide together with each person which methods feel most helpful based on goals and personal preference. The decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging can suit people who prefer typed communication or want brief check-ins between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and busy lives while keeping the focus on what matters most to the person.
