“Craig’s sessions are nurturing and strong. He has an amazing intuitive ability to help you get to the heart of whatever it is you are seeking help with.  His sessions are flexible and holistic, providing you with a range of ways to get back to that which you seek.  After every session I have come away feeling as though I have (re)discovered something about myself, or (re)connected to parts of myself that had been missing.  Craig is a compassionate and talented healer, and I would recommend his abilities to those seeking counselling.”

“The process of healing and unfolding the self is beautiful and frightening. My experiences over the last year involving serious illness and trauma around the birth of my son have seemed overwhelming and beyond the capacity of my mind to integrate into my past and current life. I have often felt like I was staring into the depths of a vast, unfathomable chasm into which, at any time, I may fall and be lost. Beginning the journey of counselling with Craig has provided an anchor and a compass with which I can attempt to navigate the sea inside and around me. I have reconnected with my heart, with my potential to live and continue to live in the face of fear; with my ability to create beauty and to offer love to the world. Craig has created a space of trust, openness and compassion and it is in the centre of this space that all that is within me, the darkness and the light, is given a voice.”

“Craig gave my husband and I the tools to resolve our disputes in a manner that is loving and respectful. His approach is so gentle and kind - you feel instantly at ease in his presence. His ability to tap into the ‘emotion’ in the room is amazing and he can identify layers of feelings simply by being present and feeling what is happening in the room. After a few short months of talking to Craig, my marriage is happier, more loving and more joyful than it has been in years. Thank you Craig for your knowledge and support. “

“Counselling wasn’t something I’d really thought of or had a lot of faith in but a friend of mine found it helpful I figured I would go just the once …….I was surprised by Craig who seemed to exude a sort of all encompassing calm that in itself was helpful.  Once I had attended a few sessions I gained confidence and found I started moving through my thoughts and feelings rather than trying to ignore them and from there it wasn’t too long until life was colourful and interesting again.  I am not sure how much is counselling and how much is the unique personality of the counsellor, certainly Craig’s intuitive intelligence and humour seemed as useful to me as the more learned aspects of the sessions. I sincerely recommend Craig’s counselling sessions to anyone who needs some help to get back on track or make some decisions in their life.  Certainly I will have no hesitation in using his services again. “

“I believe Craig’s greatest asset as a counsellor is his ability to meet you right where you’re at, in every single session. Even if i came feeling like i didn’t have anything to say, he met me right there, giving me the space and time, yet offering (rather than imposing) structure and opportunities to work from that.”

“I get a lot out of my counselling sessions with Craig. His style is very supportive and empathetic. This really assists me to discover more about myself to solve my life challenges. I am finding great results in my particular journey as a man.”

“To listen well is as powerful a means of influence as to talk well, and is as essential to all true conversation” (Chinese proverb).  After spending many months working with Craig this proverb comes to mind to sum up my experience. I went to Craig just crying out for ‘someone to listen to me’ and I appreciated his exceptional listening skills – something that is often lacking in our life and those around us. Listening is a powerful medium – more powerful than we understand and to have someone who can really ‘listen to you’ is healing in itself…With patience and time I found resolution to many of my issues with the support of Craig.”

“I have found Craig’s manner to be very caring, professional and insightful. I have a trust in his integrity, that he won’t step over anything that needs to be addressed. I appreciate this greatly.”

“Above all, as a counsellor, Craig Poulton is committed. Any client coming to Craig with a desire to know themselves more fully will be greeted by a man committed to that process.  Craig is daring. Craig is warm. He offers counselling with heart, and his sessions have moved me. I have no reservations in recommending him”
