Growing Awareness Counselling

If you're looking for an emotionally intelligent, genuine and understanding counsellor then look no further than Craig at Growing Awareness Counselling. Our relationship has flourished under his careful guidance and thoughtful questioning; he is well attuned to the male experience around counselling and is able to break down long-formed attitudes around male vulnerability. Of course, without question, he can also tune into the female experience of the world around her. He is open, understanding and gets as invested in the process as you do. I could not recommend his services any more highly!

Craig holds such a deep & compassionate presence. I was guided to many "aha" moments during our time together, and am very grateful for his way.

Craig was a great help for us, asking the right questions at the right moment. We both felt heard and understood by him. He is deeply insightful and was able to help us see things in a new light. We are very grateful and would recommend him to anybody in need of support.

My partner and I have the upmost praise and respect for Craig and his practice. He has a true genuine skill of listening intently with both compassion and understanding, ensuring to create a safe and open environment for each individual. This is achieved by careful and thoughtful guidance with an incredible knack for attention to detail. He is a welcoming and kind human being and we cannot thank him enough for helping us and our relationship. Our little family wouldn’t be where it is today without it

I've had a phenomenal journey with Craig over the past year. His style is warm and inviting and he has an incredible gift for listening intently, synthesising lots of details, and distilling down unique and alternative frames of looking at a challenge. He holds the space for you to feel the full range of emotions present. His consistent, thoughtful, and empathetic approach fosters the sense of safety necessary for honest conversation and healthy problem-solving. I highly recommend working with Craig if you're looking for support in your life.

My husband and I were referred to Craig at a very precarious point in our relationship. Craig's presence, skill in reflection and ability to ask the right questions at the right moment where instrumental in helping us to break through our checkmate and return to a loving and committed connection. We saw Craig twice monthly for about a year, sometimes together and sometimes separately. I always felt trusting and safe in his presence and have deep gratitude that we found him when we did. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Craig’s calm manner and sensitivity provided a comfortable, safe space to open up. His ability to read body language and listen deeply enabled him to draw out things I hadn’t hadn’t expected. He then helped put these feelings and memories in perspective. I saw him many times over a one year period. He really helped me through some hard times.

I want to share how Craig supported my partner and I through one of the most tender vulnerable periods of our relationship. Craig's counselling style is spacious and so infused with unconditional love and support. He held such a powerful container for our transformation which was powerfully guided and yet made room for my partner and I to really take the lead and feel empowered in our own process. I would highly recommend Craig for support and guidance in any area of your life. Thanks so much Craig!

I had a wonderfully positive experience with Craig working through some challenges in my life. Highly recommend.

Thank you Craig for helping me to move through so much over the past nine months. Your attentive listening and mindful council has enabled me to appreciate and become more attuned to myself. One of the things I have appreciated most about our sessions is the opportunity to laugh amongst the serious stuff. It has always been easy to show up knowing how supported and uplifted I'd feel by the end of the hour.

I recommend Craig's counciling to any and all who are in need of support, guidance, care, compassion, warmth, direction and someone who will happily meet you where you are at in life.

Craig listens without judgment, and has helped me see things from a new perspective. I have trialled many counsellors over the years, and found Craig’s manner and style moved me from a place I had been stuck in for most of my life. As a woman and a staunch feminist, I have generally favoured female counsellors, but found working with Craig, who is genuine, kind, and understanding, to be really effective for my growth. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

I highly recommend Craig to anyone needing guidance or support during difficult times. Craig has been such an important part of my growth and healing, I can't imagine where I would be without him. Craig's passion and care, as well as being an awesome person make him by far the best counsellor I know.

I cannot reccomend Craig enough for anyone who is seeking deep change within. I think it's his gentle, caring and inciteful approach to our sessions that have put me at ease from day one. Making it possible for me to open up to new parts of myself I didn't understand. I walk away from each appointment with some new insight or deeper appreciation for myself and am finally releasing old patterns of self talk and judgement with his help. Behaviour and thoughts that have been engrained and have had hold for over 20 years or more, are softening and their grip loosening as I'm opening up to the ultimate truths about myself. Learning to love myself again at a base level. His support is integral to the change I'm going through at the moment

My experience with Craig was amazing. He helped me get through a very difficult time in my life and despite being very sceptical of the whole counseling idea at the beginning, he very quickly put that scepticism to rest with his calming nature and amazing ability to create a very safe space during our time together. I can’t thank him or recommend him highly enough.

As a counsellor, Craig is warm, genuine and down-to-earth. I experienced his style of counselling as very spacious and person-centred, which allowed for new and deeper perspectives to be revealed. I definitely felt Craig's trust in me and my partner and our capacity to find our place of clarity and truth in love and presence. I found the reflections that Craig offered to be affirmative, insightful and revealing.

As a couple's counsellor, Craig has a beautiful ability to hold both people's experiences with compassion, as well as the ability to guide two people towards understanding each other through experientially discovering that, that which we perceive in the other is also alive within us.

Many thanks for your support, Craig.
