Craig Lilburn
Supportive counsellor for anxiety and life direction
About Craig
Craig Lilburn offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people feeling stressed, anxious or stuck. He aims to help clients talk things through, make sense of difficult feelings, and find practical ways to move forward. Craig uses straightforward language and listens closely to each person's experience to shape sessions around what matters most to them.
He draws on client-centred ways of working that focus on understanding the person's perspective. This means the conversation is led by the client’s concerns while the counsellor offers steady, empathic presence.
Background and approach
Craig also uses elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, helping people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses in everyday situations. Craig has three years of practice and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. He supports people with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem difficulties, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and addictions.
He also works with issues of guilt, shame and questions about life purpose. Sessions are available in English and Craig accepts international clients. He offers several ways to connect so people can choose what fits their life and schedule.
The first steps include a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions at a convenient time. In therapy clients can expect to be heard without judgement, to build clearer understanding of their situation, and to try practical steps between sessions. Craig aims to help people reconnect with what matters to them and make steady, manageable progress.

How counselling approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what they hear, and follows the client's lead to build understanding and self-awareness. This approach can help when someone feels unclear about their direction or needs a space to be heard.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to test unhelpful thinking and develop different ways of responding. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and managing stress in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Craig will help clients choose and adapt methods to fit their situation, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical options. Video calls let people see facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier while travelling or during a short break. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter exchanges, or times when writing feels more comfortable. These formats make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life and to keep continuity between sessions.
