About Barbara
Barbara Craig is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to help adults and people in relationships. She draws on several therapies to match what each person needs, and she works in English and Polish. Barbara holds BACP accreditation and has five years of experience supporting people through difficult times.
She sees people with depression and anxiety, and those coping with low self-esteem or life changes. Barbara also supports clients dealing with grief, relationship problems, addiction, trauma and abuse, and issues around adoption and foster care. She offers help with parenting stress, communication problems, and conflicts that arise in blended family situations.
Barbara adapts her sessions to the person in front of her. She mixes client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural tools, mindfulness practices and acceptance-based ideas. Attachment-based thinking and psychodynamic perspectives inform how she looks at patterns in relationships and early life experiences.
Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Barbara aims to build a trusting relationship where people can talk honestly about hard things. She welcomes diversity and works with clients from different backgrounds and identities.
Practical matters are kept straightforward. Sessions can be open-ended or short term according to what someone needs. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange appointments based on the therapist's scheduling options.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Barbara works with approaches that combine practical skills and relational understanding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying small experiments to change feelings and behaviour, which many people find useful for low mood and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people understand repeated issues in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Barbara will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the method based on what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process where the client and therapist decide what to focus on together.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week, reducing travel time and making it easier to maintain regular appointments. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the exact options before booking. Many people find online work supports continuity of care and allows them to practise skills between sessions in the settings where they live and work.
