About Craig Limbert
Craig Limbert is a seasoned BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three decades of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties. He works from an integrative stance that blends person-centered listening, psychodynamic insight and Gestalt-informed work to help clients reconnect with present-moment experience and explore how past events continue to shape current responses.
His practice emphasizes the individual - valuing each person's views, hopes, fears and goals and shaping a collaborative therapeutic agreement that reflects what the client wants to achieve. Over many years he has worked with people who present with complex needs, including severe depression, trauma, anxiety and high levels of stress, and he has substantial experience supporting clients from diverse backgrounds, including people who identify as LGBTQIA+.
Craig's professional background spans a range of roles in mental health services and social care, including volunteer crisis support, group facilitation, advocacy for hospitalised people, team management and long-term community-based work. He spent two decades at Kirklees Council as a mental health social worker delivering Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in primary care settings, coordinating care for people with enduring mental health needs, and supporting schemes similar to fostering for adults with learning disabilities and mental health needs. He was employed as an Approved Social Worker - also known as an Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP) - from 2002 to 2018 and has held roles in charities and community services since the early 1990s.
His formal 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). He is affiliated with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which denotes a recognised professional counselling body in the UK.
Clinically he draws on approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Existential and Psychodynamic therapies, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused methods and Trauma-Focused work to tailor support to each person's needs. Craig currently does not accept new clients, and he provides therapy in English for people located in the United Kingdom.
