Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon. Craig emphasizes listening first, then helping clients try small changes that fit their life. Craig draws on Existential therapy to help people examine meaning, choice, and values when life feels uncertain.

Additional focus areas include attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, chronic pain and illness, and issues related to adoption and foster care.

He frames therapy as a joint effort where practical steps follow honest conversation.

Online support
How Craig’s approaches translate to online care
Existential therapy helps people look at meaning, choice, and what matters when life feels uncertain. It often involves talking through values and the trade-offs people face, which can help with grief, career questions, and big life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what the client shares so they feel understood and can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing an approach is part of the work. Craig will collaborate with clients to pick methods that match their needs and goals. Together they decide whether to focus on meaning and values, on feeling heard and supported, or on specific skills and strategies. The plan can shift as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or to fit a short break at work. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions.
