About Craig
Craig Walker is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years' experience. He helps people who are stressed, anxious, dealing with addiction, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression and grief. He also supports those facing career questions, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD and changes like divorce or caregiving strain.
Craig uses clear, practical conversations rather than jargon. Sessions can be quiet and reflective or active and directive depending on what a person needs that week. He encourages people to notice how thoughts and actions link, try different responses, and check what works in daily life.
His work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centred and existential ideas. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of his toolbox when they fit a person’s goals. The focus stays on solving immediate problems and building manageable steps forward.
Craig emphasises everyday skills that help with anger, communication, confidence and intimacy-related issues. He also addresses complex themes such as attachment, abandonment and coping with chronic illness. He speaks plain language about coping strategies and practical next steps.
People who meet him can expect someone who listens, asks direct questions and suggests experiments to try between sessions. The aim is to help people find clearer choices and regain small pleasures in daily life. To begin, there is a short matching questionnaire and a first session is scheduled after that.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Craig works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns and practical behaviours that keep problems going. CBT sessions focus on noticing thoughts, trying different actions and reviewing what changed, which helps with anxiety, mood and coping skills.He also uses client-centred methods that prioritise the person’s perspective and pace. This approach means sessions can be conversational and paced according to what the individual needs. Existential ideas are used to examine meaning and choices when people face major life changes or loss.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Craig will discuss clients' goals and preferences and adapt methods over time. He treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision and checks in about what is useful after a few sessions.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm which online or in-person options are offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a working day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a quieter arrangement to focus.
