About Craig
Counsellor Craig Walker is a member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) with 13 years' experience. He works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and supports people dealing with grief and life changes.
Craig aims to help people who are struggling to find solutions on their own. He focuses on helping clients notice what matters to them and find clearer ways forward. Sessions may include quiet listening, open conversation, or time to simply let feelings out.
He uses an approachable style rooted in client-centred practice. That means the person in the room leads the pace and topic, while the counsellor reflects and clarifies what arises. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) tools are available to help with anxious or low mood patterns and to test practical changes.
Craig also draws on existential ideas about meaning and choice when people face loss, grief or major life transitions. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people manage overwhelming thoughts and stay present in difficult moments. Motivational Interviewing is part of his work when people want to explore change around behaviours such as addiction.
He has worked in the United Kingdom since 2012 and accepts international clients in English. Fees vary by location and sessions run through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online counselling options button.
Approaches used in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflection and letting the client guide the session. It helps when someone wants a steady, accepting presence while they work out what matters and what to change.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood and to test new ways of coping.
Existential ideas are about meaning, choice and how people respond to loss or big life changes. This approach can help when someone is questioning direction, values or purpose.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which approaches to try. Sessions can combine methods, change over time, or focus on one approach as needed.
Please confirm the current online session options before booking, as this biography does not list specific formats.

It can also make shorter check-ins or phone conversations easier to arrange.
