About Michaelagh
Dr. Michaelagh Walker is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of practice experience. She works with adults who are facing relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with feelings of guilt and shame and those confronting isolation or a loss of purpose.
Her background includes training at the Inter-Psyche Training Institute and experience within the Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust. She has worked in private practice and with a range of concerns such as mood disorders, phobias and issues common in young adults and women. Her years in varied settings shaped a practical approach that aims to be straightforward and relatable.
In sessions she blends Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with elements drawn from psychodynamic ideas. That means conversations focus on what matters to the person now, while also looking at patterns that keep painful feelings going. She uses clear, step-by-step techniques when helpful, alongside open listening and reflection.
People can expect a conversational style that looks at thinking patterns, daily habits and the stories someone tells about themselves. Work may include learning new ways to respond to upsetting thoughts, trying small experiments between sessions, and noticing how past experiences influence current feelings.
Practical steps for getting started are straightforward: use the platform matching process, answer a short questionnaire and arrange an initial session. Costs vary by location and sessions are provided through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs to feel heard and to make sense of their own feelings about relationships, loss or shame. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep pain going and uses practical exercises to change them. CBT works well for low mood, anxiety and unhelpful thinking patterns.The therapist treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss what helps most, try methods that fit the client's goals, and adjust the plan with feedback. That means the form of work can shift from session to session depending on what is proving useful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help people fit therapy into busy lives by cutting travel time and making it easier to attend regular meetings. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or focused practical work such as thought records and between-session exercises that slot into daily routines. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to keep continuity of care while tailoring the pace and tools to each person's situation.
