About Barbara
Barbara Craig is a counsellor who draws on several practical approaches to help people through difficult times. She works with adults in English and Polish and supports people facing depression, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and life changes. Barbara holds BACP accreditation and brings five years of experience to her practice.
She offers both short-term counselling and longer open-ended therapy. Sessions focus on building a trusting working relationship so clients can talk honestly about what is troubling them.
Background and approach
Her manner is non-judgemental and affirming, with attention to cultural differences and dignity for all people. Barbara adapts methods to each person’s needs. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and move forward.
Cognitive behavioural techniques help with unhelpful thoughts and behavioural patterns. Attachment-informed and client-centred work explores how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. People commonly bring concerns such as stress, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating issues, anger, low self-esteem, and family conflict.
Barbara also supports those facing abandonment, foster and adoption matters, caregiver stress, and relationship breakdowns. Sessions are offered to international clients and can be arranged in different online formats. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and then use therapies that seem to fit. That means sessions can combine listening, practical exercises, and reflection so the plan is tailored and collaborative rather than fixed.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which gives flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving or travel schedules. Video is good for face-to-face connection, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can suit shorter check-ins or moments when writing feels easier. Many people find online formats make regular appointments easier to keep and allow therapy to continue across locations.
