About Craig

Craig Walker is a counsellor registered with the NCPS and has 13 years of practice. He helps people who are stressed, anxious, struggling with addiction, or finding relationships and intimacy difficult. He also supports those coping with grief, depression, anger, ADHD and career-related strain.

He writes plainly with a focus on helping people find their own solutions. Sessions can be conversational or quiet, depending on what a person needs. He describes counselling as a place where people can talk things through, sit in silence, or let emotions come out.

Craig draws on formal training and on life experience. He aims to offer calm challenge as well as practical guidance. He will work alongside someone while they search for clearer thinking and more manageable responses to stress and frustration.

He uses approaches such as client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and motivational interviewing. These methods are used to help people spot unhelpful patterns, try small changes, and practise different ways of responding to anger and other strong feelings.

Many clients come looking for clarity about relationship problems, reactions to trauma, or ways to stop resentment from building. Craig also supports people dealing with life change, chronic health stress, and sexual lifestyle concerns such as BDSM and kink. He aims to help people get back to everyday things that bring them calm and satisfaction.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what someone says. It helps people feel understood and put their own thoughts in order, which is useful for anger and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour. It helps identify triggers for anger and tests small changes to reduce reactive responses.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices. These techniques can help with managing high emotion and reducing rumination after incidents.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to use listening-focused sessions, CBT-style exercises, mindfulness practice, or a mix of methods.

Confirm the current session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a day, allow shorter check-ins, or avoid travel time. They can also let someone choose quieter surroundings or skip being on camera when that helps them engage.
