About Tracey
Tracey Johnstone is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety and stress. She works with individuals dealing with trauma, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. Tracey is a registered member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS, and draws on three years of practice to offer steady, practical support.
Her style is person-centred. She listens without judgement and helps people put words to difficult feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions are paced to each person’s needs and focus on what matters most to them right now. Tracey uses trauma-focused approaches when past events affect day-to-day life. She helps clients understand how earlier experiences can shape current patterns and works with them to reduce the emotional impact of those memories.
This often includes simple, grounded techniques to manage flashbacks, intrusive thoughts or heightened stress. In the room she keeps language plain and practical. Conversations can cover coping skills, ways to rebuild confidence, and steps to handle relationship or family challenges.
She also supports people facing career stresses, caring responsibilities, chronic health difficulties and parenting strains. Therapy with Tracey aims to be collaborative and straightforward. Clients set goals together and review progress as therapy unfolds.
Her approach is built around respect, patience and a clear focus on helping people find better ways to cope and move forward.

Approaches Tracey lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also draws on trauma-focused therapy to address the effects of past events that continue to cause distress. This approach looks at how memories and reactions affect current routines and uses straightforward strategies to reduce overwhelming responses and improve emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tracey will discuss options with each person, match methods to their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which give flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing to speaking or who want more frequent brief contact between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and daily life.
