Craig Limbert, BACP

Approaches and online options for talking therapy

Craig uses attachment-informed work to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and connection. This approach helps people who struggle with trust, closeness or repeated relationship patterns to make sense of their reactions and try new responses.

He also uses a client-centred approach which places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and follows the client’s pace to build understanding and self-awareness.

Finally, cognitive behavioural ideas are used when practical skills are needed for mood and stress. These techniques help identify unhelpful thinking and introduce manageable steps to reduce anxiety and lift mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Craig will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. He adapts methods collaboratively so therapy matches what the client wants to achieve.

Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video suits more in-depth conversations, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can fit brief check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family and other commitments while keeping therapy practical and accessible.
