I am a fully qualified and accredited therapist working with individual adults and Couples/Other relationships. I have worked with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, loss and disenfranchised grief, family issues, couples' problems, and life transitions. I support clients suffering from domestic abuse and coercive control. I offer open-ended therapy and short-term counselling in either English or Polish.
I offer a non-judgemental, safe, and empathetic space where clients can freely explore their emotional struggles and problems in life. I strongly believe in diversity and provide multicultural support advocating dignity and value for all. I welcome individuals from all protected characteristics and ensure their needs are adequately appreciated whilst providing my service. As an integrative therapist, I tailor my work to suit my clients' unique individual needs, drawing from various theoretical orientations. A trusting therapist-client relationship is a crucial part of therapeutic change. I integrate psychodynamic (including attachment theory), person-centred, cognitive-behavioural, Acceptance and Commitment, and family/systemic therapy in my work.
Reaching out to therapy when things fall apart is a brave step. I would be privileged to share your journey and support you in discovering your true authentic self.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Barbara Craig. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Barbara is a great therapist who guided me through a lot, regarding anxiety, OCD and grief. Her insights are very helpful and she always brings a new perspective to the table that aids me in my process of healing. I especially value her calm demeanor: No matter what turbulent storm I am in, after a session I feel more at ease.

Barbara is gentle and attentive. For someone who has issues with validation, she listens and validates my feelings without being patronising and overstepping the boundaries in dismissing people that are close to me but are the cause of my issues.
