About Michaelagh
Dr. Michaelagh Walker uses a person-focused approach to make therapy straightforward and practical. She keeps sessions warm and interactive, helping people tackle problems like low mood, relationship strain, grief, and low self-esteem.
Her manner is calm and respectful, and she aims to help people feel understood while they work through difficult changes. She blends client-centred ways of working with cognitive behavioural techniques to match what each person needs. That means conversations that listen first, and then practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around real-life goals like improving motivation, managing mood, or coping after loss. Michaelagh has six years of clinical experience in UK practice and holds BACP registration. She draws on that background when helping people with midlife questions, life purpose, isolation or the challenges of ageing.
She also helps with concerns such as codependency, guilt and shame, and phobias. Therapy sessions are intended to be collaborative. She works at a pace the client feels comfortable with, offering simple tools and reflective conversation.
People can expect clear explanations of suggested approaches and chances to try small changes between sessions. For those who are unsure where to start, she supports people in setting practical goals and checking what works. The focus is on making therapy useful day to day, and on helping people regain confidence and clearer direction.

How her approaches work online
Dr Michaelagh Walker uses client-centred work to start by listening and understanding each person’s experience. This approach focuses on empathy and a non-judgemental stance so people can talk freely about relationships, grief, or feeling stuck. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps clarify what matters most.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT to spot patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. CBT offers simple techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and to try practical steps that change mood and motivation. It is useful for low mood, anxiety, phobias and problems with confidence.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they focus on what the client wants to change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see and hear each other, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging can suit short check-ins, brief updates between sessions, or quieter ways to reflect without being on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or mobility needs, and help people keep a steady course of support.
