Craig Walker

Craig Walker is a counsellor with 13 years' experience helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. He uses a straightforward style and aims to help clients find their own answers and get back to enjoying everyday life. Craig holds NCPS, which he lists as his credential. Craig frames his work around listening and presence. Sessions can include talking, sitting in silence, reflecting, or other ways of expressing what feels hard to say. He writes that he will stay alongside people through difficult moments and will offer both support and challenge as needed. He draws on several practical approaches to guide work on stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, anger and relationship difficulties. Techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness can help with changing unhelpful thinking and building calmer habits. Client-Centred and Existential ideas shape how he values each person's choices and search for meaning. Craig also uses Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused moments to help people make clear steps, for example when coping with life changes, career questions, grief or self-esteem concerns. He mentions life experience alongside formal study as part of his practice. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. People interested in starting complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that suits them. Craig encourages those who feel ready to reach out and begin the first step.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood, with the counsellor offering acceptance and empathy to help people explore their feelings and choices. This approach is useful for emotional concerns like grief, intimacy-related issues and low self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try out new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT techniques can be helpful for anxiety, stress, anger and mood problems by giving practical steps and experiments to practice between sessions.

Existential ideas help people consider what matters most in their life and how to find meaning during change or loss. This can suit those wrestling with big decisions, career shifts or questions about purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together with the client choose methods that fit individual needs. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as progress is made.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make regular meetings easier to fit around daily life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. They can also allow shorter focused sessions when a full hour is not possible, or let people use sessions alongside other supports while keeping therapy a regular part of their routine.
