Barbara Craig

Barbara Craig is a fully qualified and accredited therapist who supports individual adults and couples or other relationship configurations. She has experience working with people facing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, loss and disenfranchised grief, family difficulties, couples' problems, and a range of life transitions.

She provides help to those affected by domestic abuse and coercive control and offers both open-ended therapy and short-term counselling. Sessions are available in English or Polish.

Barbara aims to create a non-judgemental, safe, and empathetic space in which people can explore emotional struggles and practical problems. She places strong emphasis on multicultural understanding and advocates for the dignity and value of every individual, welcoming clients from all protected characteristics and attending to their specific needs.

Working as an integrative therapist, Barbara tailors her approach to each person’s situation, drawing on a range of theoretical perspectives. Her practice integrates psychodynamic methods including attachment theory, person-centred work, cognitive-behavioural techniques, Acceptance and Commitment approaches, and family or systemic therapy.

Barbara views a trusting therapist-client relationship as an essential element of therapeutic change. She recognises that reaching out when life feels overwhelming is a courageous step and would consider it a privilege to support someone on their journey toward finding a more authentic self.
