Approaches that suit online counselling
Craig describes his work as collaborative and adaptable, using evidence-based techniques to help people manage distress and make changes. One approach he draws on focuses on practical problem solving and coping strategies - identifying specific worries, testing small changes and building useful routines to reduce anxiety and stress. This suits people who want concrete steps to try between sessions.Another common strand in his work emphasises talking through difficult emotions like grief, shame or anger. That approach centres on helping people name feelings, understand patterns such as attachment or avoidance, and practise different responses in everyday situations. It can help when emotions feel confusing or overwhelming.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Craig will discuss options with each person and decide together what fits best with their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts methods over time if something isn’t helping, and treats the choice of approach as a shared decision.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for this style of work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when needed, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or visual focus is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or shorter reflections between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit counselling around work, family or travel and help maintain continuity even when life gets busy.
