About Barbara
Barbara Craig is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to help adults and people in relationships. She works in English and Polish and draws on several therapy styles to meet practical needs. Barbara holds BACP registration and has five years of practice in the UK.
Her work often focuses on stress and anxiety, low mood and grief, relationship problems, and parenting strains. She also supports people coping with trauma, addiction, eating concerns, anger, and difficulties with self-esteem. Money and financial issues are included among topics she can address alongside career and life changes.
Barbara aims to create a non-judgemental, empathetic space where clients can talk through what matters most. She prefers to build a trusting relationship and then tailor the approach to each person. That might mean looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, exploring attachment history, or building acceptance-based skills.
She offers both open-ended therapy and shorter-term counselling, adapting the length to what a person needs. Her work is informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred practice, cognitive behavioural tools, and mindfulness. Barbara emphasises respect for diversity and welcomes people from all protected characteristics.
Reaching out can feel hard, and she frames the first steps as collaborative. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that suit them through the Start Therapy flow.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then commit to actions that match their values; it can be useful for stress, anxiety and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people change unhelpful ways of relating, which is often useful for couples and relationship concerns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the client leads the conversation and the counsellor reflects and supports personal insight.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Barbara will discuss what feels most helpful and try different ways of working together. She aims to agree a plan with each person based on their goals, preferences and what feels manageable in day-to-day life.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy lives - it can reduce travel time, allow sessions during a lunch break, or make shorter check-ins simpler. If you need to arrange sessions across time zones because you are an international client, note that scheduling will be agreed with the therapist during the booking process.
