About Craig
Craig Limbert is a counsellor with three decades of experience who helps people manage anxiety and stress. He writes simply and listens carefully to understand what is worrying you. He aims to help clients feel steadier and find practical ways to cope with day-to-day pressures.
He uses a mix of approaches based on what a person needs. Sessions often focus on what is happening now, how early experiences still affect feelings, and on practical thought and behaviour changes.
Background and approach
He values each person's views and works with clients to set clear goals that shape the work together. Craig has worked across the United Kingdom in mental health services and social care. His background includes roles in charities and local authority mental health teams, and many years supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma and complex needs.
He has experience supporting people from diverse cultural and sexual orientation backgrounds. His training includes an advanced diploma in counselling and additional diplomas in social work and mental health. He is a BACP member - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
That registration is noted as part of his professional record. In sessions he aims to be calm and straightforward. He focuses on helping people understand their difficulties, try small changes, and build confidence to face life changes.
The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can manage.
Approaches for online therapy and how they help
Attachment-based work looks at how early connections shape current emotional reactions and relationship patterns; it can help people understand why they feel anxious or struggle with trust. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and can discover their own answers; this suits people who need space to make sense of difficult feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) examines thoughts and behaviours and tests practical changes to reduce anxiety and low mood, which often helps with immediate coping strategies.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Craig will discuss your goals, worries and what feels most helpful, then suggest ways of working together. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the work evolves so the approach fits your needs and preferences.
Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit day-to-day life. Video works well when face-to-face contact matters, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging lets you reflect in writing between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family and travel commitments while still working with a registered or accredited professional.
