About Tracey
Tracey Johnstone is a UK counsellor who supports people facing anxiety, stress and difficult life changes. She holds NCPS credentials, and she focuses on creating a calm space where people can talk through what matters most. Her approach is gentle and practical for someone feeling overwhelmed.
She works with common struggles such as low mood, grief, burnout and issues with self-esteem. She also helps people affected by trauma and abuse, and those coping with relationship strain or parenting stress.
Background and approach
Her practice includes support around career uncertainty, chronic illness, and neurodiverse concerns such as ADHD. Tracey uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person’s experience central. Sessions begin by listening closely, then shaping goals together at a comfortable pace.
The aim is to build understanding and small, practical steps that make daily life easier. She also draws on trauma-focused methods when past events continue to cause distress. This means addressing how painful memories affect thinking and behaviour, and finding ways to reduce their impact on everyday functioning.
Tracey has three years of professional experience in the UK and is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. She offers support in English and conducts sessions online and by phone. If someone prefers messaging, she can work through live chat or text exchanges as part of ongoing care.
Approaches that suit online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person and their experience. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear, and helps the person set goals that feel right for them. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and issues with self-worth because it builds trust and clarity.Trauma-Focused Therapy works with the effects of past harm that still show up today. It looks at how memories, feelings and behaviour are connected and helps reduce the hold those experiences have on daily life. This can help with ongoing anxiety, panic, or reactions tied to earlier abuse or loss.
Finding the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt methods as you go. That way the work fits your pace and what you want to change.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy or remote lives. Video calls let you meet face to face when visual connection matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing reflection between sessions and can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility constraints.
