Craig Dunlop helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and anger to find practical ways forward. He makes sessions collaborative and adaptable, working with each person to set clear goals and try approaches that suit their life. Craig is based in the United Kingdom and offers support in English.
Craig qualified in the UK as a pluralistic counsellor, which means he draws on different methods to match each person's needs.
Background and approach
He emphasises honesty, fairness and steady support while people talk through painful experiences. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on change that matters to the client. He has worked with people dealing with bereavement, trauma and mood problems, and with those navigating separation, workplace stress and midlife questions.
Craig also supports people managing chronic pain, illness or disability and those struggling with loneliness, attachment concerns or issues around self-worth. In sessions he adapts his approach rather than following a single technique. That flexibility helps him respond to impulses, anger, shame or social anxiety as they come up.
He values clear communication and helps people track progress against the goals they set together. People can expect a straightforward, respectful working relationship. Craig describes his role as a guide who offers tools, perspectives and steady presence while clients work through change.
He sees it as a privilege to support people making meaningful shifts in their lives.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Craig works from a pluralistic counselling framework, which means he can combine techniques to meet a person's needs. That might include brief problem-focused techniques to manage anxiety and unhelpful thinking, useful for stress and social anxiety. It might also include supportive, exploratory talking work for grief, attachment concerns and processing difficult life events.These methods are explained in simple terms and chosen together. Finding the right approach is part of the work - the therapist and client review what helps and adjust as needed. Craig aims to be collaborative, checking in about goals, pace and which techniques feel useful as therapy progresses.
Online formats suit different tasks and routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief reflections, ongoing support between sessions and for people who prefer writing over speaking. Overall, online therapy offers flexibility to fit sessions around work, family and daily life while using approaches that match the issues being addressed.
