About Philip
Philip Craig is an AASW social worker with five years of professional experience in Australia. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. He also helps people facing addiction concerns, compassion fatigue, career problems and anger.
Philip keeps sessions direct and practical. He uses clear talk and evidence-based tools to help people notice what triggers their reactions and to try different ways of responding. Conversations focus on small, doable steps rather than sweeping promises.
He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Attachment-based ideas are used when past relationship experiences influence current reactions. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are offered for managing strong emotions in the moment.
Philip adapts conversation and plans to each person's situation. That can mean working on communication skills, setting boundaries, or building everyday routines that reduce stress. He aims to make sessions straightforward so people can practise new ways of coping between meetings.
For someone worried about losing their temper, Philip will talk through triggers, notice the build-up, and try practical strategies to reduce escalation. He also supports people managing resentment, workplace frustration, and the strain of living with someone else’s difficult emotions.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and taking actions that match personal values. It helps when anger comes from stuck thinking or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical exercises to reduce unhelpful thinking patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past relationship experiences affect current reactions and can be useful when anger is tied to hurt or abandonment. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Philip will collaborate with clients to choose which methods to try, based on their goals and what feels workable. That decision is adjusted as therapy progresses. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work or family commitments and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practise skills between sessions in real-life contexts. Discuss practical arrangements and timing when scheduling so sessions fit daily routines.Areas of expertise
