About Christopher
Christopher Hurd is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety and stress. He aims to make the first step feel less daunting and supports clients as they work towards greater self-acceptance and value. Christopher works from the idea that people already hold many strengths they can use to move forward.
He listens first and asks questions to understand how life events shaped present difficulties. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person’s needs.
Background and approach
Christopher encourages clients to name small changes and build on them over time. His approach draws on client-centred ways of working, emotionally-focused methods, hypnotherapy and psychodynamic ideas. That mix helps with emotional regulation, relationship patterns and deeper personal themes.
He uses different techniques depending on what each person finds useful. Christopher has four years of professional experience working with people facing stress, addiction concerns, grief and trauma. He also supports those dealing with eating issues, anger, self-esteem and career-related stress.
His practice includes attention to attachment, abandonment and family-of-origin patterns. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. Appointments can be taken by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session based on availability.

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
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will talk with each person about their goals, needs and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time if something isn’t helping.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is handy for short check-ins, and text messaging suits ongoing brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
