About Philip
Philip Craig is an AASW counsellor with five years' professional experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, addiction or compassion fatigue. He aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can speak honestly about what is hard right now.
Philip works with each person to tailor conversations and a plan that suit their needs. He draws on Jungian ideas alongside practical tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on steady, doable steps forward. People who come to Philip often want to understand patterns that keep repeating in their life. He pays attention to attachment and relationship dynamics and helps people notice unhelpful thinking and behaviours.
He also supports those coping with major life changes, grief, parenting strain and career stress. Philip keeps language plain in sessions and aims for clarity over jargon. He balances listening with offering strategies to manage mood, anxiety and overwhelm.
The work can include exploring values, improving communication or building small daily routines to feel more grounded. Sessions are available via video, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different lifestyles. Philip will work with each person to find an approach that fits their goals and day-to-day demands.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Philip blends Jungian Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in accessible ways. Jungian Therapy can help people notice recurring life themes and inner images that influence feelings and choices, which is useful for self-understanding and meaning work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and taking small committed actions despite difficult thoughts or feelings, and it often helps with anxiety, depression and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and communication, and it can be helpful for intimacy, trust and relationship challenges.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Philip treats the process as a collaboration - he listens to what matters to the client and then experiments with methods that fit their goals and day-to-day life. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted over time.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give options for different routines and comfort levels. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat or messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into work, parenting and travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
