Craig Dunlop, BACP

Craig Dunlop helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief or anger. He introduces straightforward ways to cope when life feels hard. His manner is calm and practical, and he focuses on what a person wants to change.

He trained in the UK and holds BACP accreditation, which appears on his professional record as BACP. Craig works collaboratively with each person to shape the sessions around their goals. He adapts his way of working to suit different personalities and problems rather than using a single method.

Many clients come to him for help with relationship fallout such as divorce and separation, or with long-term issues like attachment wounds, abandonment and feelings of shame or guilt. He also supports people facing chronic pain, illness or disability, and those struggling with workplace stress and social anxiety.

Craig pays attention to everyday pressures as well as deeper emotional experiences. He aims to make sessions reliable and straightforward, so people know what to expect week to week. His practice emphasises honesty, fairness and ethical care in the therapeutic relationship.

People looking for practical help with life changes, midlife difficulties, impulsivity or questions about purpose will find a focused, adaptable approach. Craig sees men’s issues and mood disorders among his areas of focus and treats each concern with practical support and respectful listening.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Craig uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s needs. One common approach he draws on focuses on practical coping skills and problem-solving; it helps with anxiety, stress and day-to-day mood management by teaching clear steps people can try between sessions. Another area of focus is working with emotional patterns like attachment wounds and abandonment issues; this involves noticing repeated reactions, understanding where they come from and trying new ways of relating to oneself and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss options and test what helps, adjusting methods to match a person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps make therapy feel more relevant and useful.

Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful when visual connection matters, phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, and messaging allows brief check-ins or ongoing support without scheduling a live session. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family life and mobility needs.
