Craig Walker, NCPS

Craig Walker is a counsellor who uses a straightforward, person-focused way of working to help people find clarity and renewed enjoyment in life. He combines listening, gentle challenge and practical conversation so people can uncover their own solutions. Craig holds NCPS and brings 13 years of experience in supporting people through difficult life moments.

He works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship difficulties. He also supports people dealing with grief, career worries, ADHD and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Aging and geriatric issues are among the additional focus areas he can address alongside caregiver stress and chronic illness challenges.

Craig draws on Client-Centred methods to create a calm, non-judgemental space. He uses elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused tools are offered when clients want practical steps and goals.

Sessions are offered in English and he works with clients in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. He says the counselling journey can include silence, talking or simply letting emotions out, and he will stay alongside people through hard moments.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions according to the therapist's scheduling process. Craig aims to combine compassion, guidance and challenge so clients can rediscover what matters to them.

How Craig's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the client leads the conversation and the counsellor follows. It helps when someone needs acceptance and a chance to make sense of difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours link to mood and stress, and uses simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. That approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and worry. Existential Therapy helps people think about life meaning, choices and change when facing big transitions or loss.

Finding the right mix is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit the person's needs. That collaborative process means methods can be adjusted as progress is made or priorities change.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to keep appointments when dealing with caregiving responsibilities, mobility limits, or living overseas. The counsellor will discuss practical arrangements and help choose how sessions will best fit into everyday life.
