About Craig

Craig Walker helps people who are finding life hard and struggling to find solutions on their own. He uses conversation and practical techniques to help people find clarity and renewed enjoyment in everyday life. Craig is a member of the NCPS and has worked in counselling since 2012, giving him 13 years of experience.

He works in a straightforward, person-focused way. Sessions can be quiet and reflective or more active and directional depending on what the person needs. Craig draws on Client-Centred methods to listen and create space for someone to find their own answers, and on CBT and mindfulness techniques to address unhelpful thinking and reduce stress.

His practice covers a wide range of common concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and anger. He also supports people dealing with career questions, ADHD, bipolar challenges and coping with life changes.

Craig also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment, codependency, communication problems, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and separation or divorce. He offers motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas when people want practical steps and short-term change.

His style is down-to-earth and honest. He combines formal study with life experience and aims to be alongside people through difficult moments, using listening, challenge and practical tools to help move forward.

How his approaches are used in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping a person find their own answers; it suits people who want a reflective, person-led process to talk through difficulties. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and offers practical exercises to reduce stress and change unhelpful patterns. Existential Therapy helps people examine meaning, choices and values when facing life changes or uncertainty.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and will use methods that fit the person’s needs, combining listening, practical tasks and reflective dialogue as required. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client agree how to proceed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and mindfulness practices to work in remote sessions so therapy can fit around everyday routines.
