Craig Limbert, BACP

Craig often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and responses. This approach helps people who struggle with trust, abandonment fears or ongoing relationship patterns by linking past experiences with present reactions.

He also uses a client-centred style that prioritises the person’s perspective and goals. That means sessions begin with listening and building understanding, then focus on what the client wants to change or explore.

CBT, or cognitive behavioural therapy, is another practical strand of his work. It involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Live chat or text messaging suit short check-ins, written reflection and flexible scheduling. These formats give more choice about how and when to meet while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional understanding.
