About Barbara

Barbara Craig is a fully qualified, BACP-accredited therapist based in the United Kingdom who works with individual adults and couples or other relationship configurations. She supports people facing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and loss, family and relationship difficulties, life transitions, and issues related to domestic abuse and coercive control. Barbara offers both open-ended therapy and short-term counselling, and provides services in English and Polish.

Her practice emphasizes a non-judgemental, empathetic approach that values diversity and the dignity of every client. She welcomes people from all protected characteristics and tailors her work to meet each person’s cultural and individual needs. As an integrative practitioner, Barbara draws on several theoretical orientations to shape therapy around what the client needs most. She weaves together psychodynamic ideas including attachment theory, person-centred principles that prioritise the client-therapist relationship, cognitive-behavioural techniques, Acceptance and Commitment approaches, and family or systemic perspectives to address complex presenting concerns.

Barbara regards the trusting relationship between therapist and client as central to change. She encourages reaching out when things feel overwhelming and would consider it a privilege to support clients as they work toward greater authenticity and wellbeing. BACP indicates accreditation by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, reflecting recognised professional standards.

Integrative approaches and online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and build practical skills to live in line with those values. It combines acceptance of difficult internal experiences with committed action to support change, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns in close relationships - it explores emotional bonds, trust, and ways to repair or strengthen connection, which can be helpful for attachment issues, relationship problems, and trauma. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the centre of the process, offering empathic listening and unconditional positive regard so clients can explore feelings and find their own solutions; this approach is often supportive for self-esteem, life transitions, and grief.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Barbara works with clients to identify their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts methods from different models to find the best fit for each individual or couple. This partnership helps shape a tailored plan that evolves as progress is made.

Online sessions via video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier for international clients or those in different locations to access therapy. These options allow clients to engage with licensed professionals in ways that suit their daily life while still receiving structured and focused therapeutic support.
