About Christopher

He mixes Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, offering a calm space to talk and simple techniques to try between sessions. Chris places attention on how thoughts and behaviours affect mood and motivation.
Background and approach
That helps people tackle low self-esteem, panic, sleep problems and bereavement. Chris has also worked with clients who have neurological conditions such as autism, ADHD, traumatic brain injury and epilepsy. He adapts his pace and methods to meet each person's needs and to make sessions easier to follow.
People come to him for help with relationships, addiction concerns, feelings of emptiness, family and blended-family stress, and practical issues like money and work pressures. He listens without judgement and helps clients set small, manageable goals. Starting therapy with Chris typically involves looking at current patterns and trying out CBT techniques alongside reflective conversation.
He encourages step-by-step change and checks in on what is and isn’t working. The focus is on useful, everyday strategies that can fit into a busy life.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect mood. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk it through with each person and adapt methods to match goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative - plans can change as progress is made.
Online therapy with Chris uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for a traditional face-to-face feel, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging can fit around a busy schedule. These options aim to make it easier to keep up with sessions and try techniques between meetings.
