About me

I am Katie Johnston and I run Busy Minds Counselling from Perth, Scotland and online across the UK. As a Neuro-diverse counsellor, I enjoy working within a pluralistic framework which draws from different modalities to support clients needs and challenges during therapy.

Our work together will explore your needs and is not defined by one way of working with flexibility to " think out of the box" and find new ways to approach challenges and sticking points in life,  empowering a different way forward. 

I provide a safe and confidential space to explore your concerns and work collaboratively to build a therapeutic relationship to understand you without judgement and to support your growth and change. 

I have a keen interest in working with those experiencing:-

ADHD, Autism, Complex trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, Anger, Bereavement, Work related stress, Peri menopause, Menopause, Depression, Disabilities, Cancer and Chronic pain/health-related issues. 

I currently work online/ in person/ via telephone with adult, children and young people and trainee therapists looking for counselling, we welcome your enquiries for new consultations.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership
