Craig Limbert, BACP

Craig Limbert welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief or major life changes. He is named here to make the introduction personal. He listens without judgement and helps each person work out what matters most to them right now.

Craig uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client's experience at the heart of sessions. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas and gestalt thinking to pay attention to how past experiences and present moments connect. Conversations focus on what is happening for the person now, and on practical steps towards clearer thinking and calmer days.

He has worked in mental health and social care settings across the United Kingdom for 30 years. That background includes roles in NHS-related services and charities where he supported people with anxiety, depression, trauma and complex needs. His experience includes work alongside crisis services, community teams, and shared-lives type schemes for people needing ongoing support.

Craig values each person's individuality, beliefs and hopes. He invites clients to agree goals together and to shape the way therapy proceeds. Sessions aim to help people understand their difficulties, uncover links to earlier experience, and to build coping strategies that fit their life.

He has completed qualifications including an advanced diploma in counselling and holds BACP registration. He has also undertaken training and roles in mental health social work, practice teaching and clinical supervision. Craig works with people of varied sexual orientations, genders and cultural backgrounds.

How attachment, person-centred and CBT ideas inform online work

Craig uses attachment-based ideas to notice how early relationships influence current connections and emotional responses; this helps when people struggle with trust, loss or repeated relationship patterns. He also practises a client-centred way of working that places the person's own view and choices at the centre of sessions, useful for building clarity and self-direction. Cognitive behavioural elements are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to try small, practical experiments that can ease anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will decide what feels useful. That collaborative process means plans can change as understanding grows and new priorities emerge.

Confirm current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people join from locations across the United Kingdom without needing to commute, supporting continuity of care while the practical details are agreed with the therapist.
