About Tracey
Tracey Johnstone is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and parenting challenges. She practises with an emphasis on listening and understanding. She aims to make starting therapy feel straightforward and manageable for worried parents and individuals.
Tracey is a registered member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She brings three years of professional experience supporting people through depression, burnout, low mood and self-esteem concerns. Her work also covers trauma and abuse, bipolar, ADHD and compassion fatigue, alongside relationship and family-related worries.
Background and approach
Her style is grounded in person-centred practice. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space and works at each client’s pace. Conversations focus on what matters most to the person in front of her, and practical steps are explored when appropriate.
Tracey also uses trauma-focused methods when trauma or past abuse is part of the picture. In those sessions she pays attention to safety, pacing and stabilising coping strategies before moving into deeper material. This helps people feel more steady as they process difficult memories.
Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. People in the United Kingdom can expect a conversational style that balances emotional support with simple, doable tools for day-to-day life.

Approaches Tracey lists

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Tracey uses client-centred work to create a listening space online where people feel heard and respected. This approach focuses on the person’s experience and helps with low mood, self-esteem, life changes and relationship concerns by following the client’s pace and priorities.She also uses trauma-focused therapy when past harm or abuse is present. That method involves careful pacing, grounding and coping strategies before exploring painful memories, which can make online sessions manageable for people dealing with trauma-related symptoms.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process and she treats it as a joint decision. Tracey will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt the approach over time based on what helps most.
The online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face contact for deeper conversations, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging works for ongoing, flexible support between calls. These options aim to make therapy more convenient for busy parents and people with varying schedules.
