About Craig
Craig Walker is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 13 years' experience. He works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and depression. He also helps people facing family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues and life changes.
Craig focuses on helping people find their own solutions. Sessions can be quiet or talk-based depending on what feels most useful. He offers straightforward support and practical conversation rather than clinical jargon. That approach is aimed at restoring simple everyday enjoyment and clearer thinking.
Over more than a decade he has worked with a wide range of concerns from anger and self-esteem to career questions and coping with chronic illness. He also addresses issues such as ADHD, bipolar challenges, abandonment and attachment problems. His practice includes additional areas like codependency, communication problems and stress experienced by caregivers.
His way of working draws on client-centred listening alongside goal-focused methods. He uses techniques that help people notice unhelpful thinking, try small changes and reflect on values. Sessions can include discussion, guided reflection and practical tasks to try between meetings.
People who come to Craig often want simple, steady help to make day-to-day life feel more manageable. He describes therapy as a cooperative process where the person in front leads the pace and the topics. To begin, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. It helps when someone needs a patient, non-directive space to think through family stress, relationship strain or personal doubts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and uses small practical experiments and tasks to reduce unhelpful patterns. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative process makes room for a mix of listening, practical tasks and reflective exercises as needed.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and busy days. They also reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, often use remote sessions to help people keep therapy part of everyday life.
