Craig Limbert , BACP

Craig Limbert is a BACP counsellor (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) with an advanced diploma in counselling and a long history of work across NHS and social care settings. Over a 30-year career he has supported people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and a wide range of life changes. He combines person-centred and psychodynamic insights with an interest in Gestalt methods to help clients connect with present-moment experience and make sense of earlier life events.

Craig places strong emphasis on valuing each person's individuality, views, hopes and fears, and he frames therapy as a collaborative process in which goals are agreed and worked towards together. He has particular experience working with complex needs including trauma, severe depression, anxiety and stress, and has provided support to people from diverse backgrounds and a range of sexual orientations and gender identities.

His training includes an advanced diploma in counselling, a certificate in counselling, diplomas in management, mental health, practice teaching and social work, and a certificate in clinical supervision completed in 2024. Professional roles have included volunteering with the Samaritans, facilitating self-help groups, advocacy work for people admitted to psychiatric wards, team and service management, and long-term mental health social work in community settings. Across these roles he has combined therapeutic practice with support for independent living and life-skill development.
