About Craig
Craig Limbert is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 30 years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes. He also has additional focus on areas such as attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, chronic illness and body image concerns.
Craig uses an integrative approach that draws on client-centred work and psychodynamic ideas, with an interest in Gestalt methods. Sessions focus on what is happening for the person now and how past experiences shape current feelings and patterns. He aims to help people understand their reactions and consider different ways of responding.
In practice he values the individual's views, fears, hopes and insights. Goals are agreed together and form the basis of a working contract. Craig has substantial experience with complex presentations including trauma, severe depression and high anxiety.
His background includes roles across mental health services and social care over three decades. That work involved supporting people in crisis, facilitating self-help groups, advocacy for people on psychiatric wards and providing community-based support and life skills. These experiences inform the straightforward, practical way he works with clients.
Craig has worked with people from a range of cultural backgrounds and with those who identify as LGBTQIA+. He describes therapy as a collaborative process aimed at identifying concerns, clarifying goals and trying out different steps to address them.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at patterns of relating and how earlier bonds affect present relationships. Online sessions can help people notice recurring ways of connecting, and then try different responses when talking things through.Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's own perspective. In practice this involves open conversation about what matters to the individual and agreeing goals together, useful for life changes and direction questions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviours into manageable steps. Online sessions can cover practical exercises, short behavioural experiments and simple thinking tools to test new ways of responding to anxiety or low mood.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide collaboratively which methods suit the person's needs, goals and preferences. That discussion can change over time as issues become clearer.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins and offering flexibility for appointments during work breaks or evenings.
