Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Craig Dunlop

Craig Dunlop works from a pluralistic counselling framework, which means he combines methods and tailors interventions to the individual rather than following a single model. This flexible approach helps with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties by matching techniques to the client’s needs.

He also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at developing practical coping skills and exploring emotional patterns. These approaches support clients in managing stress, addressing mood concerns, and working through trauma or significant life changes in a structured, outcomes-focused way.

Finding the right fit is collaborative - Craig will work with each person to identify goals, try different strategies and refine the plan as therapy progresses, ensuring the approach reflects the client’s preferences and circumstances.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for those with busy schedules, mobility or location constraints, or a preference for remote support. This format makes therapeutic work more accessible while allowing licensed professionals and therapists to maintain consistent contact and adapt session styles to what works best for the client.
