About Christopher
Christopher Poole is a BACP counsellor who aims to build a calm, respectful space for people to talk about what matters. He brings four years of professional experience and focuses on practical ways to reduce distress and find clearer direction. He works with common difficulties like stress and anxiety, low mood and depression, grief and loss, and problems in relationships.
Christopher also supports people struggling with self-esteem, motivation, anger and major life changes.
Background and approach
He pays attention to issues linked to family, parenting and fatherhood when these affect an individual's wellbeing. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs. Christopher listens first and then offers straightforward ideas to help manage difficult feelings and improve day-to-day coping.
He keeps language plain and explains options so people know what to expect. Over time Christopher helps people notice patterns that hold them back and try small, achievable changes. He encourages practical steps to improve communication, build confidence and find a greater sense of purpose.
The work is collaborative and paced to suit the person he is supporting. People often come for short-term support to manage a crisis or for longer work to address deeper issues. Christopher aims to help people feel more able to handle stress, make clearer decisions and move towards a more balanced life.

Online support
Behavioural strategies encourage small, achievable changes in daily routines and activity. By planning manageable tasks and rebuilding pleasant or meaningful activities, people often notice improvements in motivation and mood. This approach can help with depression, low energy and problems with motivation.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, trial different techniques and adapt the plan as needed. That collaboration helps make sure the approach matches the person's needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break or short slot. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing reflection and people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
