About Craig

NCPS. 13 years' experience. Craig Walker helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, grief and a wide range of other concerns. He works in plain, direct counselling terms and focuses on helping people find clearer thinking and more enjoyment in everyday life.

Craig uses a blend of approaches to suit each person. He draws on Client-Centred Therapy to listen and reflect what matters to the person. He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to look at thoughts and behaviours that get in the way. He also brings in Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing when these fit the goals being worked on.

Sessions are conversational and may be quiet or more active depending on what the client needs. Craig describes counselling as a practical collaboration where people can talk things through, sit with difficult feelings, or try out new ways of responding. He says he does not have all the answers, and aims to offer guidance and challenge where helpful.

Over 13 years he has supported people with issues such as self-esteem, anger, intimacy-related problems, career questions, bipolar mood concerns and coping with life changes. His wider focus includes areas like abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency and communication problems.

Craig practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. He accepts international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online counselling options button.

How his therapeutic approaches work with online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people clarify their feelings and decide what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviour. Existential Therapy encourages people to name the personal meanings and choices behind their situation and can be useful for coping with major life change.

Finding the right approach is part of the counselling process. Craig will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as issues shift and new priorities emerge.

The practical benefits of online counselling are that sessions can fit into a busy week and avoid travel time. Please confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to allow more flexible scheduling and shorter check-ins during the working day.
