About Michaelagh

Dr. Michaelagh Walker offers a warm, person-centred approach to counselling. She focuses on building an open, respectful space where people can talk about difficult feelings.

Her style aims to be collaborative and down to earth. She draws on client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural techniques to address problems like depression and low self-esteem. Sessions often involve listening, reflecting, and trying practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts or habits.

This mix helps when coping with life changes, relationship strains, or loss.

How Michaelagh works

Walker has practised for six years in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as her credential. Her background includes work in independent practice and placements connected to NHS services during training. That experience means she is used to supporting people through a wide range of concerns.

People typically come to her with grief, relationship difficulties, mood problems and questions about life purpose or midlife shifts. She also works with issues such as isolation, guilt, phobias, and self-harm thoughts, and supports women and young adults with transitions and self-worth challenges. Therapy sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person.

Conversations are practical when needed, with clear steps to try between meetings. Walker aims to help people find more steadiness and choice in day-to-day life.

How client-centred and CBT work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so each person feels heard. It helps people gain clarity about emotions and priorities by placing their experience at the centre of sessions. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is useful for depression, low self-esteem and anxiety-related problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan over time to find what helps most.

Online sessions are offered using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for a full conversation when visual cues matter. Phone calls can fit easily into a lunch break or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging suits short check-ins, written reflection, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family life and other commitments.
