About Craig
Craig Lilburn offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety. He keeps sessions straightforward and focuses on helping each person make sense of their experience. Conversations are paced to the individual and aim to restore confidence and direction.
Craig works from a client-centred stance, which means he listens deeply and follows what matters most to the person in front of him. He also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help people recognise patterns of thinking and behaviour that make problems worse.
Background and approach
These approaches are used together to create practical steps people can try between sessions. He has three years of experience working with concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, addictions, and problems with self-esteem. Craig also pays attention to feelings of guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.
His work aims to help people understand how past experiences affect the present and to build tools for moving forward. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. Craig aims to be genuine, curious and accepting, giving space for people to name what is hard and to test new ways of thinking and acting.
He supports people to set clear, manageable goals and to track small changes over time. Based in the United Kingdom, Craig meets people online in ways that suit their life. He works in English and welcomes international clients.
He holds the BACP and NCPS credentials.
How Craig blends practical tools with person-centred care online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person's lead. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard, to make sense of their feelings, and to re-establish a sense of self. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It offers clear techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and to try different behaviours that can reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Craig will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree a collaborative plan. This means trying things in shorter stages, reviewing what helps, and adapting methods as progress is made.
Online therapy with Craig uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits quick check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and flexible while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
