Craig Still, NCPS

Craig Still, NCPS, offers a warm and collaborative counselling style that aims to help people feel heard and understood. He presents a calm, non-judgemental presence and works with adults facing a range of life stresses. He frames therapy as a partnership and encourages clients to bring their own goals and experiences into the room.

Craig uses a pluralistic approach, drawing on several therapies to suit each person’s needs. He often combines practical tools with reflective conversations. That can mean learning ways to manage anxiety, coping with grief, or finding steadier routines for sleep and eating.

He has four years of post-qualification experience working with adults from many backgrounds. His work covers issues such as stress, trauma and abuse, addiction, depression, bipolar and ADHD. He also helps with intimacy-related concerns, relationship and family matters, and identity or LGBT questions.

Craig describes his stance as supportive and gently challenging. Sessions typically focus on what matters most to the client and on small, manageable steps forward. He offers both short-term and longer-term work depending on what feels right for the person.

If someone is thinking about starting therapy, Craig asks them to bring their priorities and any practical constraints to the first meeting. He aims to agree on a clear plan so progress can be reviewed as therapy continues.

How these therapies can help in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It uses simple mindfully based exercises and values-driven goals to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful action, which can help with anxiety, depression and coping with change.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust. It helps people understand recurring relationship difficulties and build different ways of relating to others and to themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and try different ways of working until something fits. This is a collaborative process that centres on the client’s goals and everyday constraints.

Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family life or travel, and it can allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that suits a person. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to practise skills, process difficult experiences and set practical steps to try between meetings.
