Craig Limbert

Craig Limbert is a counsellor with three decades of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. He offers a calm space to talk about grief, self-esteem and the effects of trauma and abuse. Craig works in a straightforward way and focuses on what each person needs right now.

He uses a mix of person-centred ideas and psychodynamic thinking to help people reconnect with their present experience. Craig often draws on attachment-based thinking to understand how early relationships affect current patterns. He also uses cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness to address unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills.

Craig has worked across NHS and social care services and has supported people with complex needs for many years. That background includes roles in mental health social work, crisis volunteering and facilitating self-help groups. He has particular experience with trauma, severe depression and anxiety.

His values are openness, respect and collaboration. Craig describes therapy as a joint process where the client’s goals shape the work. He encourages clear discussion about aims and how progress will be measured.

Craig is a BACP counsellor, and he welcomes people from diverse sexual orientations, genders and cultural backgrounds. Sessions are conducted in English and his practice is based in the United Kingdom. If you want to explore next steps, you can use the site Start Therapy flow to match and schedule.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Craig commonly uses client-centred work, which means the focus is on the person and their experience. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the client find their own solutions to stress, grief or relationship concerns.

He also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness techniques are used alongside this to develop attention to the present moment and reduce rumination.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Craig will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then shape the sessions together. This collaborative planning helps decide which methods to try and when to review progress.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. Shorter telephone check-ins can be used when a quick update is helpful, and video meetings let you use visual cues during deeper conversations. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor practical arrangements so therapy fits day-to-day routines without promising a particular format.
