Background and approach

He listens without rushing and offers a mixture of gentle challenge and support. Sessions can be quiet or talkative depending on what someone needs in the moment. His work often addresses depression, relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief, addiction, trauma and anger.

He also supports people dealing with career changes, ADHD, bipolar concerns and long-term health problems. Craig helps people explore issues like attachment, codependency, communication problems and commitment worries. Therapeutic approaches include client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, existential conversation, mindfulness and motivational interviewing.

That mix lets him tailor the session to practical actions, self-awareness and coping skills rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Craig describes counselling as a shared process. He offers honest feedback alongside encouragement so clients can test new ways of thinking and behaving.

If someone is ready to start, he will help them take the next steps at a pace that suits them.

How Craig’s approaches translate to online therapy

Craig uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in online sessions. Client-centred work means the session focuses on the person’s priorities, with the counsellor listening and reflecting so the client can find their own answers. Cognitive behavioural therapy offers straightforward techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change them.

He also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing when useful. Mindfulness practices help people notice thoughts and feelings without judgement, while motivational interviewing supports clearer goals and practical steps when someone feels stuck. These methods suit problems like anxiety, stress, addiction and coping with life changes because they combine awareness with action.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The counsellor will discuss options and tailor methods to the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration means the work changes if one way isn’t helping and adapts over time to what the person finds useful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls work well for more in-depth conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text can suit shorter check-ins, journalling-style work or people who prefer typing. These choices help make therapy easier to fit into daily life.
