About Craig
Craig Limbert is a BACP counsellor with 30 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. He works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes. He also supports people who are dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, autism spectrum concerns, chronic illness, and codependency issues.
Craig uses a mix of person-centred and psychodynamic ideas alongside gestalt ways of working. In practice this means sessions focus on what is happening for the person in the present moment, while also looking at how early life and relationships shape current patterns. He talks with clients about goals and draws up a simple joint plan to guide the work.
Across his career he has worked in NHS and social care settings and in community roles. This includes many years as a mental health social worker, experience delivering cognitive behavioural approaches in GP settings, and roles supporting people with severe and enduring mental health needs to live independently.
Craig has supported people with complex needs and those affected by trauma, severe depression and anxiety. He has also worked with people from diverse cultural and sexual orientation backgrounds, including clients who identify as LGBTQIA+.
Sessions aim to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck, practise different ways of responding, and build practical steps for everyday life. He explains approaches clearly and works collaboratively so the client stays involved in setting aims and measuring progress.
How sessions work
Approach-focused online sessions
Craig commonly draws on attachment-based work and client-centred practice alongside cognitive behavioural ideas. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence how people relate now and can help with fear of abandonment and trust issues. Client-centred work means sessions prioritise the person’s own perspective and choices, helping them name what matters. Cognitive behavioural ideas offer practical ways to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours between sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together with the client which approaches suit the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice is reviewed as therapy progresses.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel by removing commute time. They also allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not needed, and they can reduce the need for video if phone contact is preferable. Registered or accredited professionals offer online work that aims to fit therapy into everyday life while keeping sessions practical and focused.
