About Chris
Chris Allen is a counsellor who has practised for three years and runs his own business. He works with people on common problems such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and low mood. He is particularly interested in encouraging men to talk about their feelings instead of bottling them up.
Chris takes a person-centred approach in sessions. He aims for a relaxed, warm and supportive atmosphere so people feel able to speak openly.
Background and approach
He listens without judgement and treats each person as an individual with their own story. Sessions focus on helping people understand what is important to them. Chris uses empathy and genuine curiosity to help clients find their own answers.
He encourages reflection so people can make decisions that fit their values and goals. Many clients work on practical steps to move past painful events. That might include processing a difficult breakup, coping with job loss, or reducing overwhelming anxiety.
The work is paced to what each person can manage. Chris also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, addiction concerns, trauma and self-esteem. He welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and aims to create a space where honesty and growth are possible.

Approaches Chris lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
In sessions the counsellor invites reflection rather than giving direct solutions. This approach helps people uncover what matters to them and make choices that fit their life. It is especially helpful when someone wants to understand patterns, cope with loss, or rebuild after a difficult relationship.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and the therapist will work together with each person to decide what feels most helpful. Conversations about goals, preferences and what feels manageable will guide how sessions proceed and which techniques are used.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone sessions can be a good fit when less bandwidth or not being on camera is preferred. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
