About Craig
Craig Walker is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 13 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and other life changes. He also lists work around career, ADHD, bipolar and intimacy-related concerns.
Craig uses straightforward conversation and listening to help people find practical ways forward. Sessions may involve quiet listening, talking things through, or a mix of both depending on what the person needs in the moment. He describes his role as accompanying people while they make sense of difficult feelings and decisions.
He draws on several therapy approaches to shape sessions. Client-Centred Therapy guides how he listens, while cognitive behavioural tools are used to spot and change thought patterns that make stress and anxiety worse. Mindfulness practices and elements of motivational interviewing also appear in his work to support motivation and present-moment awareness.
Across his years of practice Craig has helped people clarify goals, manage strong emotions, and work through breakups, bereavement, or changes in routine. He also offers coaching-style support for career decisions and practical coping strategies for addiction and ADHD-related struggles.
He notes that finding answers can take time and that the process may include challenge as well as comfort. People who prefer a direct, conversational style and practical problem-solving often find this approach helpful.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Craig blends Client-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in straightforward ways. Client-Centred Therapy means the focus is on listening closely and following the person's lead, which helps when someone needs space to talk or to sit with feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers practical tools to identify and change thinking patterns that feed anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits, and it can be used to set small, achievable goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Craig will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will pick techniques and ways of working that suit the person's life and aims, and adapt the plan as things change.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include making it easier to fit counselling around study, work and travel. If session formats are important to you, please confirm the current options before booking as formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can reduce commuting, allow shorter check-ins between tasks, and make it simpler to continue work while living in different locations. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to keep therapy accessible for people with busy schedules.
