About Craig

Craig Limbert is a counsellor with three decades of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. He works with individuals who are coping with loss, relationship struggles, changes in life, or concerns about self-esteem. Craig uses a person-focused, respectful style to help clients make sense of their current difficulties.

He trained in counselling and holds a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) accreditation. Over 30 years he has worked in NHS and social care settings, in charities, and in community mental health roles.

Background and approach

That background means he is used to supporting people with complex needs and varied life stories. Craig blends client-centred ways of working with psychodynamic and gestalt ideas. Sessions concentrate on what is happening for the person now, while also looking at how earlier experiences shape current reactions.

He aims to help people reconnect with present experience and gradually understand past hurts, including trauma. Practical therapy plans are agreed together. Goals are set jointly and adjusted as progress is made.

He has experience offering cognitive behavioural techniques when helpful, alongside reflective work about relationships and attachment. Craig is comfortable working with people from diverse cultural and sexual orientation backgrounds. He offers a calm, open approach and focuses on clear, manageable steps so people can move forward at their own pace.

Ways of working Craig names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Craig uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This work focuses on how people relate to others and themselves, and helps with anxiety, relationship difficulties and issues around trust.

He also uses client-centred therapy, which starts from the person and their experience. Sessions follow the client’s pace, focusing on understanding feelings and practical steps to feel steadier day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Craig will work with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative discussion and the plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls suit fuller conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief reflections or when written communication feels easier. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, travel and family commitments.
