About Craig

Craig Lilburn offers calm, down-to-earth support for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about next steps. He creates a simple space to talk honestly about stress, anxiety, relationships, low mood, addiction and worries about purpose or shame. His approach is straightforward and respectful.

Craig aims to help people understand what matters to them and to find practical ways forward. Craig uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client’s experience first.

Background and approach

He listens without judgement and helps people make sense of their feelings. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and how small changes can make a difference. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person needs.

Craig offers empathy and clear reflections to help people discover patterns and options. He focuses on usable tools as well as space to talk through difficult memories and emotions related to trauma or abuse. With three years of experience, Craig has worked with a range of concerns including stress, depression and addictions, alongside issues such as guilt and shame.

He is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and also holds NCPS credentials. Craig practises from the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. He accepts people from other countries and supports online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

How Craig uses therapy approaches online

Craig works with two main approaches that translate well to online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what you say. It gives people space to feel heard, name their emotions and decide what matters next. This approach is useful for exploring self worth, shame and life purpose.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. Online CBT sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small changes between sessions. This method can help with anxiety, low mood and habits linked to addiction.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Craig will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that suit their situation. He adapts what happens in sessions as progress and needs become clearer, working together to pick tools that feel useful.

Online work offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit into busy days or provide shorter check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and location while keeping the focus on what helps you move forward.
