Craig Dunlop , BACP

Craig Dunlop is a UK-qualified pluralistic counsellor who combines flexibility with a collaborative style to tailor therapy to each person's needs and goals. He works alongside clients to identify practical, meaningful changes, drawing on a range of approaches so that conversations and techniques are adapted to suit the individual rather than forcing a single method on everyone.

With three years of practice, he has supported people through anxiety, depression, anger, bereavement and trauma, helping them navigate difficult emotions and life transitions. He describes his role as a privilege and aims to create a therapeutic relationship that promotes growth, clearer perspective and stronger relationships.

Craig brings training and experience across different ways of working and remains flexible in session structure and pace. He is committed to honesty, reliability and fairness in his practice, and he approaches each client with integrity and genuine care for their wellbeing and development. He holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional credential used in the UK for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Pluralistic care and evidence-based techniques online

Craig Dunlop practices from a pluralistic stance, meaning he and the client explore and select methods that best suit the individual rather than relying on a single model. This approach emphasizes collaboration, drawing on different therapeutic ideas so sessions can be shaped around personal preferences, values and goals. It is particularly helpful for people facing complex or overlapping issues where flexibility matters.

He also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques, which are structured methods supported by research to address common concerns such as anxiety, depression and reactions to loss or trauma. These techniques focus on practical skills, building coping strategies and helping clients understand patterns that maintain distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Craig works collaboratively with clients to assess which methods fit their needs, goals and comfort level. Together they review progress and adjust the plan as required.

Online therapy with Craig is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and to connect across distances. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and choose the communication style that feels most helpful at any stage of treatment.
