About Christopher
Christopher Atkinson has worked in counselling for 14 years and holds the NCPS credential. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. He also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, anger and addictions.
He approaches work in a straightforward, respectful way that emphasises the client’s strengths. Christopher believes people are the experts on their own lives. He listens without judgement and helps clients name problems, notice patterns and try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and paced to what each person can manage. He encourages small steps that add up to real change. In sessions he uses a client-centred style that keeps the person’s experience central.
That means he follows what matters most to the client and offers reflection, questions and gentle challenge to widen perspective. He aims to build a trusting space where difficult feelings can be spoken about honestly. He has supported people with relationship concerns, intimacy-related struggles, parenting stresses and family conflict.
He also works with issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood struggles, self-esteem difficulties and body image concerns. His approach is adaptable to both short-term goals and longer personal work. Christopher is based in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.
He accepts people from other countries and offers different online formats to suit varied needs. If someone is unsure where to start, he helps them set clear, manageable goals and reviews progress as therapy continues.

Approaches Christopher 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
Online sessions make it possible to try this style in different formats. Shorter text messages can suit quick check-ins or mood tracking. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations, while phone sessions can be easier when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and messaging are useful for people who want ongoing support between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt techniques and pace accordingly. This is a collaborative process where the client’s feedback guides adjustments.
Online options offer flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving or health needs. They reduce travel time, let sessions fit into busy days and allow different ways of communicating depending on energy and concentration. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to keep therapy practical and accessible.
