Craig Limbert is a fully certified BACP counsellor with an advanced diploma in counselling and three decades of experience working across NHS and social care settings in the United Kingdom. He practises using an integrative approach that draws on person-centred and psychodynamic perspectives, and he has a particular interest in Gestalt therapy.
Craig understands that many deep issues have their roots in childhood and he uses Gestalt techniques to help clients reconnect with their present experience. Gestalt is a form of psychotherapy that emphasises awareness of the here and now; within this framework he works collaboratively to help people process and make sense of trauma and difficult experiences.
His work places value on each person’s individuality, fears, hopes and insights, and he frames therapeutic goals together with clients to form a joint contract that guides the work. He offers an open, supportive and safe therapeutic environment in which people can explore their thoughts, feelings and emotions.
Craig has experience working with people who have complex needs, including trauma, severe depression, anxiety and stress. He has supported clients from diverse backgrounds and has worked with people who identify as LGBTQIA+. He is a male, gay, older, non-religious and liberal therapist who welcomes clients of all sexual orientations, genders and cultural or spiritual backgrounds.
His professional qualifications include an Advanced Diploma in Counselling (Level 4), a Certificate in Counselling (Level 3), a Diploma in Management (2011), a Diploma in Mental Health (2002), a Diploma in Practice Teaching (2001), a Diploma in Social Work (1994) and a Certificate in Clinical Supervision (2024). Craig’s earlier roles include volunteering with the Samaritans (1990-1992), facilitating self-help groups at Mind in Humberside (1993-1994), providing advocacy with Mind in Barnsley (1994-1998), team management for the Mental Health Aftercare Association, long service with Kirklees Council as a mental health social worker and team manager (2000-2020), and work as an Approved Social Worker/Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP) from 2002-2018.
For many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes, online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. Research and practice indicate that remote work is a viable option for these issues.
One of the main advantages is flexibility - people can connect in the way that best suits their life and comfort, whether that is by video call, phone session, live chat or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments.
All therapists offering online sessions are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel a different fit is needed. Online therapy offers a way to access qualified support without giving up on professional standards of care.
