Craig Walker, NCPS

Craig Walker offers compassionate, experienced support to people facing difficult life challenges and looking for practical ways forward. He combines formal training with lived experience to create a therapeutic space where clients can explore their concerns and uncover their own answers. Since 2012 he has worked with many individuals to restore a sense of clarity, enjoyment, and fulfilment in everyday life.

Craig approaches the therapeutic journey as a shared process - sometimes that means talking things through, sometimes simply sitting in silence while feelings are allowed to surface, and sometimes it means giving space to express what has been bottled up for too long. He brings a balance of compassion, gentle challenge, and practical guidance, recognising that neither the therapist nor the client has all the answers at the outset. Over time he helps people access their own resources and make meaningful changes.

He holds NCPS, a recognised professional counselling credential, and has 13 years of experience working with issues such as stress, anxiety, addiction, relationships, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, and life transitions. Craig is available to support clients when they are ready to begin the work of change and recovery.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy

Craig often draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support people in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where the client’s own goals and values guide the work - it is useful for building self-understanding, confidence, and stronger relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical techniques to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful patterns of thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Craig works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the style and pace as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels useful and relevant to everyday life.

Online therapy with Craig can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without travel, fitting therapy into busy lives and across distances.
