About Craig
Counsellor Craig Still is a member of NCPS with four years of post-qualification experience. He works with adults in the United Kingdom and supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and relationship issues.
Craig uses a pluralistic approach that draws on several methods to suit each person. He offers a straightforward, person-focused way of working. Sessions are described as collaborative and gently challenging when needed.
He commonly helps people dealing with low self-esteem, identity questions, burnout and relationship strains. He also works with eating and sleeping problems, addictions, ADHD and compassion fatigue. More complex presentations such as dissociation, attachment issues and the effects of abuse are within his stated focus.
Craig says the relationship between counsellor and client matters most. He listens to what people bring and treats them as the expert on their own life. He aims to agree clear aims and to use methods that fit each person’s situation.
His background includes using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches, plus existential work. That range is used to provide different ways of addressing thoughts, feelings and behaviour. He balances practical tools with open conversation.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How his therapeutic approaches work for online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people live according to their values while learning to allow difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching practical ways to act despite discomfort.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It gives clear strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and to build different habits, which can suit issues like low mood, anxiety and sleep problems.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current ways of relating. It can be useful when attachment issues, intimacy or repeated relationship patterns are a concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Craig discusses options with each person and chooses methods together based on needs and preferences. He aims to adapt methods over time if something is not working.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, travel constraints or day-to-day commitments. They also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that helps someone attend. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, use online work to reach people who cannot easily travel to appointments.
