About Craig
Craig Walker is a counsellor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction and other difficulties. He holds NCPS credentials and has worked in the field since 2012. Craig aims to help people rediscover fulfilment and everyday enjoyment when life feels overwhelming.
He uses a straightforward, human approach in sessions. Conversations can be quiet and reflective or more active and focused depending on what a person needs. Craig describes counselling as a joint process - he offers compassion, gentle challenge and practical direction while encouraging people to find their own answers.
Over 13 years he has supported people dealing with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem issues and mood changes including bipolar and depression. He also works with concerns such as anger, intimacy, career questions, ADHD and coping with major life changes. His wider interests include attachment and communication difficulties, codependency, chronic health challenges and issues around commitment and separation.
Craig draws on a mix of talking-based approaches. He uses Client-Centred methods to follow a person’s lead, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to work on thoughts and behaviours, and Motivational Interviewing to encourage change. Mindfulness and existential ideas inform how he helps people find meaning and calm in difficult moments.
Sessions are framed around what the client wants to achieve. Craig welcomes people from the United Kingdom and elsewhere, and aims to make the first steps into counselling simple and practical.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following a person’s lead to build trust and clarity. Online sessions can use that same gentle, reflective style so people set the pace and topics they want to cover.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and practices small experiments to change patterns. Delivered remotely, CBT can still include practical exercises, mood tracking and structured homework to help with anxiety, depression and coping strategies.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find internal reasons to change by exploring ambivalence in a non-judgemental way. This approach suits goals such as reducing addictive behaviours or deciding on life changes and works well in conversational online sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs and change course if something isn’t working. That collaborative process helps people discover what feels useful.
The original biography does not list which online or in-person formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to connect with a therapist from a different area or country without changing routines.
