Dr. Michaelagh Walker

Dr. Michaelagh Walker is a counsellor with six years' experience working in private practice in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP recognition and offers a calm, respectful presence for people facing relationship strain, grief, low self esteem and depression. Her manner is warm and interactive and she aims to help people take practical steps towards feeling steadier in day-to-day life.

She trained in the UK at the Inter-Psyche Training Institute and gained experience at Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including coping with life changes, mood difficulties, phobias, and issues many women bring to therapy. She also supports people dealing with loneliness, guilt, feelings of emptiness and questions about life purpose.

Her core ways of working draw on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, with influences from relational approaches. That means sessions often focus on clear goals, practical steps and an open, collaborative relationship. She adapts the work to each person rather than using a single method for everyone.

In sessions she listens, reflects and helps people try small changes between meetings. Practical tools and thought-focused strategies are used alongside space to talk about difficult feelings. She aims to help clients feel understood and to build skills for coping after therapy.

To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy is about creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace and priorities. This approach helps when people need someone to listen closely and reflect back what matters to them.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying practical changes. It is often used for depression, anxiety and problems with motivation or self esteem because it gives concrete tools to practise between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that match the person’s needs. Decisions about pace, focus and exercises are made collaboratively rather than imposed.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce time spent travelling and allow brief check-ins when that suits. Some formats also need less internet bandwidth or let someone keep their camera off, which can help people focus on the work without changing their routine.
