About Craig
Craig Limbert is a counsellor with three decades of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. He works with men’s wellbeing among other concerns and aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what matters to them. He explains things plainly and focuses on the person in front of him rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
Craig blends person-centred ideas with psychodynamic and gestalt perspectives to help people notice patterns that began in earlier life. He uses straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness when these suit the work. Sessions are about understanding current struggles and finding practical ways to manage them day to day.
His background includes long experience in NHS and social care settings and many roles supporting people with complex needs. He has worked with people who have experienced trauma, severe depression, anxiety and stress, and with people from diverse cultural and sexual‑orientation backgrounds including LGBTQIA+ communities.
Craig holds an advanced diploma in counselling and a range of other diplomas including mental health and social work. He also has a Certificate in Clinical Supervision from 2024 and has provided supervision and team management in community services.
People who choose to work with him can expect a collaborative approach. Goals are agreed together and sessions focus on understanding what led to current problems and on building coping strategies. He aims to help people reconnect with their present experience and move towards clearer choices.
How his approaches translate to online work
Craig uses attachment‑based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and patterns; this helps when people want to understand recurring difficulties in relationships and emotional responses. He also draws on client‑centred practice, which focuses on listening, acceptance and building a trusting working relationship that allows people to speak openly about their concerns.He will also use cognitive behavioural techniques and simple mindfulness practices when they suit a person’s goals, for example to manage anxiety or low mood with practical skills. Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work and will be agreed together as therapy progresses in a collaborative way.
If you are considering online sessions, check the available formats before booking since the profile does not specify them. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy around work and family commitments, reduces travel time and makes it easier to join sessions from wherever they happen to be. Others prefer meeting face to face for different reasons, and the therapist will help find the best arrangement for your needs and daily life.
