Dr Johnston's approach combines traditional psychological tools with a deep understanding of the mind-body connection. She believes in educating patients about how the brain and body work together, teaching them new methods to overcome stress and achieve their personal goals. Her expertise extends to individuals who require cognitive assessment, emotional support after neurological injury or stroke, or those with medically unexplained symptoms and Functional Neurological Disorder, including health anxiety. Dr Johnston has a special interest in working with trauma, redefining trauma as both the “big T’s” and the smaller struggles (“little t’s”) that plague our minds and bodies.

Additionally, she has presented at multiple conferences and regularly engages with the media on topics such as pain psychology, breaking the stigma of seeing a psychologist, mind/body conditions, and neuropsychological principles for all.
As a clinical practitioner, educator, and leader, Dr Johnston is dedicated to expanding the understanding of the mind-body connection and making psychological support accessible to everyone. She is passionate about bridging the gap between psychological and medical services and advocates for the importance of psychological care for patients with neurological and chronic health conditions.
