Background and approach

Sessions are phrased around what matters most to the person in front of her. Her room is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical steps and time to talk through feelings.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used alongside a person-centred style to spot patterns and try different ways of responding. Dr Walker often works with worries about purpose, motivation and confidence. She can help when the goal is to rebuild routine, manage low mood or navigate a big life change.

Conversations look at thoughts, behaviour and what helps day to day. People who choose her can expect a collaborative pace. She listens first and helps set straightforward, realistic targets.

Progress is reviewed regularly so the work stays useful and relevant.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy is about being heard and respected. In sessions she focuses on listening carefully, reflecting what you say and helping you find your own solutions. This approach supports people who need time to understand their feelings and decide what matters next.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. She uses simple CBT techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, test beliefs and try new behaviours. This helps with problems like low mood, anxiety and phobias by giving practical steps to use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with you to decide which methods suit your goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as you go. The focus is on what helps you make steady, realistic changes.

Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging fits brief check-ins or flexible schedules. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments and to keep momentum between appointments.
