Background and approach
Mindfulness and Existential ideas are woven in to help people notice the present moment and consider meaningful life choices. His work covers a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem and career worries.
He also helps with ADHD, bipolar, coping with life changes, and issues linked to caregiving, chronic health problems and ageing. Craig says he brings both formal study and life experience to sessions. He aims to sit alongside people during hard times, whether that means talking, sitting in silence, or letting emotions out.
The style mixes compassion, gentle challenge and practical ideas to help people reach their own answers. To start, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. International clients can be accepted and sessions are conducted in English.

How Craig works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works by helping people notice thinking patterns and try small changes in behaviour. It is practical and action-oriented, which can help with anxiety, stress, addictions and low mood. Mindfulness techniques teach gentle attention to the present moment and can reduce reactivity to difficult feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Craig will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adapting over time rather than committing to a single method from the start.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule evening or daytime appointments around work and family life. It can also reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while keeping the same therapeutic aims as face-to-face work.
