About Craig

Craig Limbert helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, self-esteem and life changes. He works in an integrative way using client-centred and psychodynamic ideas and draws on gestalt thinking to focus on present experience. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has around 30 years of experience.

Craig offers straightforward talking therapy. Sessions look at current troubles and how earlier life events may affect feelings now. He uses conversation, reflection and present-moment awareness to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Goals are agreed together and guide the work.

His background includes long service in mental health and social care settings across the United Kingdom. That work involved supporting people with severe mental health needs, offering cognitive behavioural approaches in GP surgeries, and managing teams in community services. He has also run self-help groups and provided advocacy for people in acute settings.

Craig has worked with complex presentations such as severe depression, anxiety and trauma. He also has experience supporting people from diverse cultural and sexual-orientation backgrounds, including those who identify as LGBTQIA+. He describes his role as helping people make sense of their feelings and identify practical ways to cope.

Training includes an advanced diploma in counselling and several diplomas in social work, mental health and practice teaching. He also holds a recent certificate in clinical supervision. His practical experience and training inform a pragmatic approach to talking therapy.

How Craig uses talking therapies online

Craig draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns; this can help with relationship concerns, attachment issues and long-standing emotional responses. Client-centred work places the person’s views and goals at the centre of sessions, focusing on listening and helping people make sense of their own experience. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical ways to try different responses for problems such as anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Craig will discuss options with the client and agree together which techniques and ways of working suit the person’s needs, goals and preferences. The choice of method can be reviewed as therapy progresses so it stays useful and relevant.

The practical benefits of remote counselling depend on the formats actually offered. The biography does not list session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or caring commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, often use remote work to help people access consistent care alongside everyday life.
