About Philip
Philip Craig is an AASW counsellor with five years of professional experience. He helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in confidence, or dealing with depression. He supports people wrestling with trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues around codependency. Philip aims to create a respectful, sensitive atmosphere so people can take the first step toward change.
Philip works in a conversational, practical way. He listens first, then tailors the plan to what each person needs. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps that build skills for coping and clearer thinking. He avoids jargon and uses everyday language so people can put ideas into practice quickly.
His approach draws on therapies that encourage values-based action and clearer thinking. Philip uses techniques to help identify unhelpful patterns, practice new skills, and repair attachment strains. He also uses client-centred methods to keep the work grounded in the person’s experience.
People bring many life issues to sessions, from parenting stress and career uncertainty to grief and chronic health concerns. Philip supports those facing compassion fatigue, addiction-related worries, ADHD-related challenges, and body image or sexual identity questions. He adapts the pace and focus to match each person’s goals.
Philip asks people to be curious about small changes rather than expect instant fixes. He helps set realistic steps, reviews progress, and adjusts the plan when needed. The tone is collaborative and practical, aimed at helping people regain agency and move toward a more manageable life.
Approaches that translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to name their values and take small actions that match what matters to them. It helps with anxiety, depression and getting unstuck from avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce distress and improve mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they relate and repair connection difficulties.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This means trying different techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or offering an option when being on camera is tiring. Approaches like ACT and CBT adapt well to a talk-based setting and practical exercises that can be done between sessions, helping people apply new skills in everyday situations.
