About Craig
Craig Limbert is a BACP counsellor with thirty years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. He is direct and steady in sessions and helps clients talk through difficult feelings like grief, shame and low self-esteem. People come to him wanting to understand painful past events and to find clearer ways of coping in daily life.
He works from an integrative perspective that blends client-centred listening with psychodynamic ideas and attachment-based thinking. Sessions focus on the here and now while also looking at how earlier experiences affect current relationships and patterns. Craig aims to help people name what matters to them and try practical steps that fit their life.
Craig has worked across health and social care settings in the United Kingdom for many years, including roles in mental health teams and supporting people with complex needs. That background informs a practical and grounded way of working with issues such as trauma, severe depression, anxiety and long-term stress.
He also draws on mindfulness and cognitive behavioural tools to help people manage distressing thoughts and emotions. Therapy is shaped around each person’s goals and preferences, with clear discussion about how sessions will proceed.
Craig is experienced supporting people from a range of cultural backgrounds and sexual orientations. He encourages open conversation about identity and relationships and aims to create a respectful space to explore concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and adoption and foster care related matters.
Sessions are offered in English and are intended to help people identify practical ways forward, build coping skills and make sense of difficult experiences.
How Craig’s approaches translate to online counselling
Craig uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present feelings. This approach helps when people want to understand patterns in their close relationships and why certain situations trigger strong emotions.He also works in a client-centred way, offering attentive listening and reflecting back what matters most to the client. This helps people feel heard and build a clearer sense of their own priorities and choices.
Craig incorporates cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. Those tools are useful for managing anxiety, low mood and stressful thinking by practising different responses between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Craig will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. The process is collaborative and can be adjusted as needs change.
