Craig Walker, NCPS

Craig Walker is a counsellor who uses a human-centred approach to help people untangle difficult problems. He draws on 13 years of practice and his life experience to support those who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Craig aims to help people find their own answers and restore enjoyment in everyday life.

He works in a calm, accepting way and offers different kinds of therapeutic conversation. Sessions can be quiet and reflective or more active and goal-focused, depending on what feels most useful. He leans on methods that encourage self-awareness and practical change to bring clarity and calm.

Craig has worked with a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma and grief. He also supports people facing relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem struggles and major life changes. Career, ADHD and bipolar concerns are among other areas he addresses.

His practice includes problem-focused approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy and motivational interviewing, alongside client-centred and existential work. Mindfulness techniques are used when they suit someone’s goals and circumstances. The emphasis is on collaboration and finding simple steps that make a difference.

People who meet him can expect a steady presence through hard moments. Craig aims to balance empathy, challenge and practical ideas so clients can move toward clearer thinking and more fulfilment. He invites people to begin when they feel ready.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on respectful listening and bearing witness to someone’s experience. It helps people feel heard and more able to notice their own choices and values. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers simple, practical ways to change unhelpful cycles; it is often used for anxiety, depression and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Craig will talk through different methods and try out approaches together. Decisions about focus and techniques are made collaboratively, based on what the person wants to achieve and what feels manageable.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose less or more active styles of work depending on how much time they have and what feels most helpful.
