About Michaelagh
Dr. Michaelagh Walker is a BACP-credentialled counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of clinical experience. She works with relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and depression, and supports people coping with life changes.
She trained at the Inter-Psyche Training Institute and has worked within the Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust before moving into private practice. That background gives her experience with a wide range of common mental health concerns.
Her practice combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and client-centred methods. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different, practical responses. She also uses relational ideas to pay attention to recurring patterns in how people relate to others.
Typical areas she addresses include motivation, confidence, grief, mood difficulties and relationship strain. She also has experience with issues often linked to midlife and later life, such as questions about life purpose and ageing concerns.
Sessions focus on straightforward techniques and reflective conversation. Clients can expect a mixture of problem-solving, behaviour experiments and talking through personal values and goals. The aim is to find clear next steps that fit everyday life.
Dr Walker works in English and does not take international clients. Prospective clients follow an initial matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing alternatives. Sessions often include clear tasks between meetings, such as behaviour experiments or thought records, which can be reviewed together online. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and working at the client’s pace, helping people to clarify values and goals and to talk through emotional concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and then suggests practical methods to try. That collaborative process helps identify whether more structured CBT elements or a quieter, reflective style suits a person best.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around everyday life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins at a convenient time. Some formats may suit quieter audio-only conversations, while others let people use video to work on behavioural tasks together. The therapist will explain which options she offers and help match session logistics to the client’s needs and routines.
