About Michaelagh
She trained in the United Kingdom at the Inter‑Psyche Training Institute and has worked in both independent practice and with the Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust. That mix of settings means she has seen common problems presented in different ways and across different stages of life.
In sessions she combines client‑centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques and draws on relational ideas to tailor help to each person. That means conversations focus on what matters to the client, and on testing small changes that can improve mood and day‑to‑day coping. Sessions are intended to be collaborative and practical.
People come for support with issues such as ageing and geriatric concerns, codependency, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, midlife crisis and questions of life purpose. Additional areas include mood disorders, phobias, self‑harm and problems linked to being a young adult or women’s issues.
Dr Walker aims to treat everyone with respect and sensitivity. She encourages clear goals and small steps so people can notice progress. To start, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step is used to arrange sessions according to her availability.

Focus areas
How her approaches translate to online work
Client‑centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience and on building a supportive space where they can talk through what matters. It helps when someone needs to be heard, understood and helped to find their own solutions.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses simple exercises to test new ways of coping. It is often useful for depression, mood problems and practical steps to manage worry or motivation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they will pick techniques and pace that suit the person’s needs and day‑to‑day life.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check‑in appointments when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage better.
