Craig Limbert is a counsellor with 30 years' experience who offers calm, practical support for people facing anxiety, depression, grief and relationship strain. He uses straightforward approaches that help you make sense of difficult feelings and take small, manageable steps forward. Craig works with adults who are trying to cope with life changes, trauma and low self-esteem.

He is based in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Background and approach

Craig draws on a mix of person-centred and psychodynamic ideas to shape sessions around each person. He focuses on what matters to you now while recognising how past experiences can still affect your feelings. Sessions aim to help you notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and build more helpful habits.

He has extensive experience in the NHS, social care and charity settings, including work supporting people with severe depression, anxiety and trauma. Craig has also supported people through advocacy, community mental health services and group work across his career. Craig is comfortable working with people from different cultural and sexual orientations, and with those who have complex needs.

He values honesty, respect and collaboration when agreeing goals and plans with people in therapy. In sessions he will listen, reflect and offer ideas that you can test between meetings. The aim is to help you feel clearer about what you want to change and to build practical ways to get there.

How Craig's approaches work online

Craig often uses client-centred work which focuses on understanding your perspective and building a trusting relationship. This approach helps when someone needs a space to talk and be heard without pressure to change straight away.

He also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural experiments. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and practical coping skills. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at patterns in relationships and how early experiences can shape current reactions, which can be helpful for people dealing with relationship strain or long-standing trust issues.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and agree together which approaches to use. This collaborative process means techniques can be adapted as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make counselling easier to fit into life. Video lets you keep a face-to-face feel; phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when writing helps you process thoughts. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and daily routines.
