About Craig

Craig Walker is a counsellor who uses a people-centred approach to help those struggling to find a way forward. He draws on 13 years of experience and his NCPS credential to offer steady, practical support when life feels hard. Craig aims to help people find clarity and enjoy everyday moments again.

He listens without rushing and adapts to each person's pace. Sessions can be quiet or talkative depending on what feels right. Craig focuses on helping people identify their own solutions rather than telling them what to do.

Craig works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship difficulties. He also supports people coping with grief, career challenges, ADHD and major life transitions. Money and financial issues are part of the practical concerns he addresses in sessions.

His approach draws on client-centred practice, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and motivational techniques. That mix helps people notice patterns, try small changes and build new habits over time. Craig also brings existential perspectives to conversations about meaning and direction.

People who meet him can expect compassionate honesty, gentle challenge and help to create concrete next steps. He encourages exploration, self-compassion and practical problem-solving. When someone is ready to begin, Craig offers a collaborative space to work through what matters most.

How Craig blends approaches for online therapy

Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace, helping people to make sense of their feelings and to find their own answers. This approach is helpful for relationship issues, grief and general life stress.

Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It encourages practical experiments and small changes to reduce anxiety, manage mood and address unhelpful habits. That approach suits concerns like anxiety, addictions and coping with life changes.

Craig treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. He will discuss what is working and adjust methods based on the client’s goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to use listening, practical exercises, mindful awareness or a mix of these methods.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it helps maintain continuity through life changes while they try out new coping strategies.
