About Craig
Craig Limbert is a counsellor with three decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. He is based in the United Kingdom and works in a straightforward, person-centred way that aims to make sense of what is happening now. He also offers support around trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and life changes.
Craig uses a blend of approaches to suit each person. He values the individual's perspective and works collaboratively to set goals and agree how to reach them.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on current experience while also looking at roots from earlier life when that helps make things clearer. His background includes long-term roles in mental health services and social care, where he provided cognitive behavioural approaches in GP settings and coordinated support for people with complex needs. That practical experience informs how he works with coping, communication and everyday challenges.
People who come to him describe practical, steady support aimed at recognising patterns and finding manageable steps forward. He has worked alongside people from diverse cultural and sexual orientation backgrounds, including those who identify as LGBTQIA+. Craig holds a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration, an advanced diploma in counselling and a number of diplomas in social care and mental health.
He brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions and focuses on helping people explore their feelings and try new ways of coping.
How Craig’s approaches work online
Craig often combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of attachment-based thinking. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening closely and helping people reflect on their own values and choices, which can help with low self-esteem and relationship worries. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and provide practical ways to test and change them, useful for anxiety and stress. Attachment-informed ideas explore patterns from earlier relationships and how they affect current connections and emotional reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Craig will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try different methods to find what helps most. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes arranging therapy more flexible. Video calls let you use face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Messaging and live chat suit brief check-ins, shorter sessions or people who find writing their thoughts easier. These options help fit therapy around work, family and mobility needs.
