Craig Still

Craig Still, NCPS, offers a warm, collaborative counselling approach. He creates a calm space where adults can talk through stress, anxiety, anger and life changes. He writes plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person. With four years of post-qualification experience, Craig draws on several practical approaches to help people cope and move forward. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-informed and client-centred ways of working. This mix lets him match what he does to each person’s situation. Sessions focus on real-life problems such as grief, relationship strain, low self-esteem, burnout and coping after trauma. Craig also supports people with issues around addiction, ADHD, bipolar mood fluctuations, body image and intimacy-related concerns. He pays attention to how past relationships and attachment patterns affect present behaviour. Craig describes therapy as a partnership. He listens without judgement, reflects what he hears and gently challenges unhelpful patterns. Practical tools and short-term strategies are available alongside longer-term exploration when that feels right. He works with people from diverse backgrounds, including those exploring gender and sexual identity. If someone prefers an approach that is values-based or practical, Craig will adapt his style to match their goals. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How therapy approaches adapt to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, anger and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and practising new ways of responding. It is helpful for anxiety, low mood and disrupted sleep. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current coping and connections, helping with relationship strain, grief and identity concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Craig will discuss goals and preferences with each person and try methods that fit their needs. Together they will review what is helping and adjust the plan as therapy progresses so the approach stays practical and relevant.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular contact during busy periods and to use brief check-ins when needed. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm available formats before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt techniques, worksheets and pacing to suit online sessions and everyday life.
