Craig Dunlop
Supportive, practical counselling for life’s hard moments
About Craig
Craig Dunlop helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and anger find clearer ways forward. He writes simply and directly with people who need practical support for life changes. Craig’s style is collaborative and down-to-earth.
He aims to create a steady, honest space for conversations that matter. Craig trained in the UK and holds BACP registration, which means he works within recognised professional standards. He has three years of counselling experience supporting people through bereavement, trauma and mood difficulties.
Background and approach
He also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, chronic illness and long-term pain, and workplace stress. Sessions are adapted to each person. Craig listens first, then helps set realistic goals.
He uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and chooses methods that suit the person’s needs rather than following a single formula. This flexible way of working helps keep therapy practical and rooted in everyday life. Clients often bring problems like guilt, impulsivity, loneliness, midlife questions, or struggles with relationships and separation.
Craig works with these topics in straightforward language, helping people spot patterns and try small, achievable changes. He values honesty, fairness and a professional approach in every session. Therapy with Craig can include short-term problem solving or longer work on deeper issues.
He accepts international clients and offers sessions in English by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book sessions that suit their schedule.

How Craig uses therapeutic approaches online
Craig draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and applies them in ways that suit each person. One common approach is collaborative problem-solving, which focuses on identifying specific patterns and testing small changes to reduce anxiety or stress. This method can help with work-related pressure, social anxiety and mood difficulties.Another useful approach is grief-focused and emotion-focused work, which helps people process loss and strong feelings such as guilt or shame. This involves talking through memories and responses, and building coping strategies to manage day-to-day life while grief feels intense.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Craig will talk through options with the client and decide together which methods match the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan can change if needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break at work. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make therapy easier to fit into busy lives and to access from different locations.
