Craig Still, NCPS

Craig Still is a counsellor who uses a pluralistic, person-focused approach. He works to create a warm and collaborative space where people can feel heard and begin to make sense of difficult moments. Craig holds the NCPS credential and brings four years of post-qualification experience to his practice.

He offers practical, down-to-earth support for common life challenges. People come to him for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship breakdown, career transitions, grief and complex trauma. He describes his style as supportive, non-judgemental and gently challenging, and he aims to respect each person’s knowledge about their own life.

Craig sees therapy as a partnership. Sessions focus on the issues you bring and on building small, workable steps toward change. He can work short term for practical goals or for longer periods when deeper exploration is needed.

His approach draws on a range of therapies to match what each person needs. That flexibility allows him to blend talking, practical exercises and reflection so the work feels relevant and manageable. He pays attention to how relationships, identity and past hurts shape day-to-day difficulties.

People seeking support for things like burnout, identity challenges, addiction-related worries or coping with life changes will find a steady, respectful presence. Craig aims to help people feel more able to make choices that fit their values and daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. It uses simple exercises to name values and take small steps toward them, which can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current patterns. It helps people understand emotional responses and try new ways of relating that reduce repeat patterns and distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Craig will collaborate with each person to choose methods that suit their goals, needs and preferences. That might mean using ACT exercises for practical moves or looking at attachment history when relationship patterns are central. The plan is adjusted as progress is made.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or letting people join from quieter surroundings. It also allows continuity when schedules or locations change, while still focusing on clear, goal-oriented work and relationship-based exploration.
