About Craig
Craig Limbert offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. He introduces a down-to-earth way of working that aims to make difficult feelings easier to talk about. Craig uses simple language and practical steps so conversations feel useful from the first session.
He draws on thirty years of experience in mental health services across the United Kingdom. That time includes roles in NHS-related services, charities and local authority social care.
Background and approach
His background includes work with people who have experienced trauma, abuse and complex needs, and he has also supported people living with long-term health conditions. Craig combines client-centred listening with psychodynamic ideas and attachment-informed thinking. He helps people notice how past experiences shape current feelings and relationships.
Sessions often look at present-day patterns and the small changes that make life feel more manageable. He also uses practical techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness to help with worry, low mood and unhelpful thinking. These tools are offered alongside reflective conversation, not as a one-size-fits-all solution.
Craig and the person he sees agree goals together and regularly check progress. Craig is a BACP counsellor, and his training includes diplomas in counselling, mental health and social work. He is comfortable working with people from varied cultural and sexual orientation backgrounds and speaks English.
He practises in the United Kingdom and aims to make sessions clear and approachable for worried parents and adults alike.

Sessions & fees
Approach-driven online therapy for everyday struggles
Craig draws on attachment-based thinking to help people understand how early relationships shape current feelings and responses. This approach focuses on patterns in relationships and can help when abandonment, attachment issues or trust are concerns. He also uses client-centred therapy which puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions, offering listening, acceptance and collaboration to shape goals and next steps.He makes practical use of cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change them. CBT techniques can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress because they focus on clear steps people can try between sessions. Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work; the therapist will talk things through with the person and agree what fits their needs and goals in a collaborative way.
Online therapy with Craig is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quicker check-ins and text messaging supports shorter ongoing conversations. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family life or mobility limits and let people pick the format that helps them engage most effectively.
