Craig Walker, NCPS

Craig Walker is a counsellor who uses client-centred and practical approaches to help people work through painful or confusing times. He offers calm, steady support while people look for solutions that make sense for them. Craig holds NCPS and brings 13 years of experience to his practice in the United Kingdom.

He helps people manage anxiety, stress and depression and talks with those dealing with relationship problems, grief, trauma and addiction. He also supports people facing intimacy-related concerns, anger, low self-esteem, career questions and life changes. Craig lists work with ADHD, bipolar, family strain and caregiving stress among his areas of focus.

Craig’s style is straightforward and flexible. Sessions can be quiet or more conversational depending on what someone needs that day. He aims to balance compassion, gentle challenge and practical guidance so people can discover their own answers.

Over more than a decade of practice he has built experience using cognitive behavioural tools, mindfulness and motivational interviewing as helpful ways to shift thinking and habits. He also draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning when life feels uncertain.

People who come to him for support are invited to move at their own pace. The work often involves talking through current problems, trying small experiments between sessions and noticing what changes. Craig encourages curiosity about thoughts, feelings and choices during the process.

How Craig’s approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities and offers a supportive space to talk or sit with what feels difficult. It helps people clarify their feelings and decide what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and offers simple, practical strategies and experiments to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches noticing thoughts and bodily experience so strong reactions become easier to manage.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Craig aims to agree on a plan with each person based on their goals, needs and preferences. He will help choose techniques and pace the sessions so the process feels collaborative and practical rather than prescriptive.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support steady progress with the same tools used in face-to-face work, such as CBT exercises, mindfulness practice and motivational conversations, adapted to the online setting.
