About Craig
Craig Limbert offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. He speaks plainly and works to help clients make sense of difficult feelings. Craig draws on many years of practice so people feel heard and understood from the first session.
He uses an integrative approach that blends client-centred listening with psychodynamic ideas. That means sessions begin with the client’s experience in the here and now and look gently at patterns that may come from earlier life.
Background and approach
Existential themes - questions about meaning, choice and responsibility - also inform his work when people are wrestling with big life decisions. Craig has three decades of experience in mental health and social care across the United Kingdom. He has worked in NHS settings, charities and local authority services supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma and complex needs.
He holds the BACP credential, an advanced diploma in counselling and several other related qualifications. In a session he focuses on the person in front of him, not a diagnosis. Conversations are collaborative - the client’s goals guide what happens next.
Craig also supports people dealing with relationship issues, low self-esteem and long-term health or pain challenges. He is experienced with people from diverse sexual orientations, genders and cultural backgrounds. Sessions aim to help clients find clearer ways to cope, make decisions and build more manageable routines after difficult periods.

Online support
How Craig's approaches work online
Craig often uses Existential Therapy to help people face difficult choices and questions about meaning. This approach encourages honest conversations about values, responsibility and what matters most when life feels uncertain.He also works with Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps people who struggle with trust, closeness or repeated relationship problems to notice and change unhelpful cycles.
Client-Centred practice is central to his online work, which means sessions begin with active listening and the client’s own goals. The counsellor aims to create a steady, accepting tone while exploring options together.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Craig will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That can change over time as different issues come into focus.
Online sessions suit people who need flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs while keeping the therapeutic aims central.
