About Craig
Craig Still is a counsellor who uses a narrative approach alongside other practical therapies. He works with adults and focuses on helping people untangle difficult life moments. He aims to build a calm, respectful space where people can be heard and think differently about their story.
He has four years of experience and holds the NCPS credential, which is shown as NCPS. That background informs a flexible, person-centred way of working rather than a single fixed method.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and shaped around what each person needs. In practice he helps with stress, anxiety, depression and managing mood conditions such as bipolar. He also supports people facing trauma, grief, anger, addiction and compassion fatigue.
Relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain and career transitions are also areas he often addresses. Craig draws on narrative techniques to help people separate themselves from unhelpful stories. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and elements of cognitive behavioural work to support coping and behaviour change.
Attachment-based ideas guide how he understands relationships and long-standing patterns. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online using several formats. The first meetings typically focus on what matters most and agree clear, achievable next steps.
People looking for a straightforward, respectful counsellor will find a steady, practical collaborator in Craig.

Online session options
How narrative and practical therapies work online
Craig combines Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed ideas to guide online work. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from the stories that cause pain and then rewrite those stories in more helpful ways. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to notice thoughts and feelings, choose valued directions, and build small, doable actions. Attachment-based ideas help make sense of repeating relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current connections.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Craig works collaboratively to test what helps and adjusts methods to fit each person's goals and preferences. Therapy is paced to match what a person wants to achieve rather than following a fixed script.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into short breaks or require less bandwidth, and chat or messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping continuity between appointments.
