About Craig
Craig Limbert is a counsellor with 30 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, grief and changes in life. He works in a respectful, open way and values each person's views, fears and hopes. Craig encourages clear goals and a shared plan for therapy to make sessions purposeful from the start.
He draws on a person-centred stance alongside psychodynamic and gestalt influences to help people connect with their present experience and past influences. Sessions focus on what is happening for the person now and how childhood experiences may still affect them today. Craig aims to help people understand feelings, work through trauma where needed, and find practical ways to manage thoughts and everyday habits.
Across three decades he has worked in NHS and social care settings and in voluntary services. That background includes supporting people with severe depression, anxiety and complex needs, and work in advocacy, community mental health teams and care-coordination roles. Craig also has experience supporting people from diverse cultural and sexual-orientation backgrounds.
He holds an advanced diploma in counselling and a BACP credential, and he maintains an emphasis on collaboration in therapy. Sessions are shaped around the goals the person brings and are reviewed as progress is made or needs change.
Craig invites people to talk about what matters to them and helps identify small, practical changes that can reduce distress and improve everyday functioning.

How Craig’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current ways of thinking and relating. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in relationships and try new ways of relating in a conversational setting. Client-centred work focuses on the person’s experience and goals, offering a listening space where the counsellor follows what matters to the individual and helps them find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Craig will work collaboratively to identify which methods match the person’s needs, goals and preferences. He adapts how he works as understanding grows and as priorities change during therapy.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify formats here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited or for conversations without being on camera if that helps someone engage. Registered or accredited professionals can use these practical options to help therapy slot into everyday life while keeping focus on the goals set together.
