About Craig

Craig Walker is a counsellor who combines listening with practical tools to help people through hard times. He draws on 13 years of experience and his NCPS credential to help clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma. Craig aims to help people find their own solutions and reconnect with things that bring them enjoyment.

He works in a straightforward, down-to-earth way. Sessions might involve talking, quiet reflection, or practical exercises.

Background and approach

He offers structure when people want it and space when they need to think out loud. Craig emphasises compassion alongside challenge to help people move forward. Craig uses several approaches to match what each person needs.

Client-centred work keeps the person’s goals in charge of the process. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. Trauma-focused methods help when past events continue to cause distress.

Over the years he has helped people with relationship strains, grief, anger, self-esteem and career issues. He also supports people facing life transitions, questions around intimacy, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns and the effects of chronic illness. Other areas he addresses include attachment and communication problems, codependency, and difficulties linked to separation or abandonment.

Sessions are offered online in English and are available to clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. Craig describes the therapeutic journey as collaborative - he stays alongside clients while they explore, test and reclaim parts of their lives that feel lost.

Ways of working Craig names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Craig’s approaches work online

Craig uses client-centred work to keep each person’s goals at the heart of sessions. This approach means the conversation follows what matters to the client and the therapist offers support and reflection rather than direction. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and to try practical changes in behaviour, which can be useful for anxiety, mood and stress-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Craig will talk with the client about their goals and try different methods to see what fits. The process is collaborative - decisions about techniques and pace happen together, so therapy stays relevant to the person's life and needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy day and need less bandwidth, live chat suits short check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people access support around family, work and other commitments.
