Craig Limbert, BACP

Craig Limbert offers calm, practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and the fallout from trauma. He writes plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters most to each person. Craig aims to create a steady place to talk and work through difficult feelings and life changes.

He brings three decades of experience in mental health services across the United Kingdom. That background includes work in GP settings, crisis support, advocacy for people admitted to psychiatric wards, and long-term community care. His long career means he is used to supporting people with complex needs and layered problems.

Craig uses a mix of approaches that focus on the present moment, personal meaning and practical steps. Conversations look at how past experiences shape today while also building new ways of coping. Sessions typically combine close listening with straightforward techniques to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

He values each person’s individual story and tailors the pace to what feels manageable. Goals are agreed together at the start and reviewed as therapy progresses. Craig is comfortable working with different cultural and sexual identities and aims to be respectful and non-judgemental.

Craig holds BACP accreditation, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. His training also includes diplomas in counselling, mental health, social work and clinical supervision. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging for flexibility.

Approaches that fit online therapy

Craig uses attachment-based ideas and client-centred work to focus on relationships and the present moment. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people notice and change those patterns. Client-centred work offers a patient, non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace and topics.

He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT gives clear steps and exercises to reduce anxiety, lift mood and improve coping with daily challenges. These approaches are chosen to match the person's needs and goals, and they can be mixed depending on what works best.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods suit their goals, preferences and life situation. That choice can evolve as progress is made, so flexibility is central to the work.

Online therapy offers practical benefits, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face conversations when possible, while phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging can be helpful for regular check-ins or when a written reflection feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, travel and family commitments, while keeping the focus on progress and accessibility.
