About Craig
Craig Limbert is a BACP counsellor with three decades of experience. He offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. He also works with those dealing with trauma, self-esteem concerns and life changes, including issues linked to codependency.
Craig uses a person-centred stance that values each person's views and goals. Sessions focus on what matters now and on building understanding of past events that still affect day-to-day life. He aims to help people notice patterns and find practical ways to cope and move forward.
His background includes long experience in NHS-linked and social care settings. Over many years he has supported people with complex needs, including severe anxiety and depression, and has done work with diverse cultural and sexual identities.
In therapy he encourages an open conversation about what you want to achieve. Together you and he would agree on goals and the ways to reach them. The work can include exploring present-moment experience as well as earlier life events that shape current difficulties.
Craig trained at diploma level in counselling and holds an advanced diploma in counselling. He also has diplomas in social work, mental health and management, plus a recent certificate in clinical supervision. That mix informs a practical, experience-based approach to helping people make sense of difficult feelings.
Approaches that guide online work
Craig draws on attachment-based ideas which look at how early relationships affect how we connect now; this can help when patterns of closeness or avoidance cause stress. He also uses client-centred methods, which place your priorities and insights at the centre of the work and encourage a non-judgemental conversation about what matters to you. Cognitive behavioural therapy, when used, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical ways to change them to ease anxiety or low mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy. He will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit your needs, goals and preferences. That means adjustments over time, and checking in regularly about what is helping and what needs to change.
Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as they are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing sessions during a lunch break. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick adjustment is needed, or audio-only contacts if being on camera feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals aim to tailor practical arrangements so therapy fits into everyday routines.
