Tracey Johnstone, NCPS

Tracey Johnstone works with people who are facing anxiety, low mood, stress and life transitions. She is a UK practitioner and a registered member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She helps people who are coping with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, work-related strain and questions about identity or self-worth.

Tracey uses a person-centred style that places the client at the heart of the conversation. She aims to build a respectful, non-judgemental space where someone can talk through thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Sessions are tailored to what each person needs rather than following a rigid plan.

Her practice also includes trauma-focused work for those affected by distressing events. That approach helps people process difficult memories and reduce their impact on day-to-day life. It is offered alongside gentle, client-led support for problems like relationship strain, family concerns, and career stress.

Tracey holds the NCPS credential, which is listed as NCPS. She has three years of professional experience working with adults in the United Kingdom. She offers practical coping strategies and emotional support, while encouraging clients to find their own strengths.

Sessions can cover a wide range of topics including ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image worries. The overall aim is to help people develop clearer coping plans, feel less overwhelmed, and move forward with realistic steps.

How client-centred and trauma-focused therapy works online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s own experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows the client’s lead to help them make sense of feelings and choices. It often helps with low mood, self-esteem issues and decisions about life changes.

Trauma-Focused Therapy involves carefully addressing distressing experiences so they have less power over daily life. This approach works through difficult memories and aims to reduce anxiety and intrusive reactions over time. It is used alongside person-centred support rather than replacing it.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then choose methods that match. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can suit those who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options make therapy more accessible for people with busy schedules or mobility limits, while letting the therapist and client focus on clear, practical steps.
