Chris is an exceptional person. His attention to detail and genuine care for others really stand out. He’s deeply committed to understanding and resolving any problems or challenges that come up, always approaching them with thoughtfulness and compassion. What sets Chris apart is his ability to truly listen. He doesn’t just hear what’s being said he takes the time to understand the underlying emotions and perspectives. This quality makes him particularly valuable for Black men, as he not only relates to their experiences but also creates a safe and supportive space to open up. In our culture, where Black men are often hesitant to express vulnerability, having someone like Chris who understands, connects, and encourages dialogue is incredibly impactful. His presence is both inspiring and transformative.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Chris has been patient, kind, gracious and easy to share with. I was going through some big changes at the time I found him through Better Help and it was so helpful to have a soft mannered and thoughtful therapist to unpack things with. I would highly recommend Chris!
Chris is a great listener 1000%.
I found Christopher sarfo, understanding and he guides me to try to figure out my own answers. Rather then give to a solution. We had a join session with my husband and we both agree that he was the kind of therapist we needed.
Very caring person, understand the other side , great listener and reflect the situation as is in the correct context. Recommend!
Chris is a great listener and communicator. The clarity he provides has helped enriched my self awareness and I feel empowered to put into practice all I’ve learnt since working with him. I strongly recommend Chris’ professional services.
Very happy! Confident that I’ll keep growing and developing my EQ!

He is great, great responses & listens well, I would highly recommend.
Christopher is a good listener and provides considered and helpful responses, insights and advice! I’ve enjoyed my sessions with him and have came away from each feeling lighter and better.
Chris has been an immense help getting me through my divorce and day-to-day stresses. He is very professional, understanding, kind and easy to communicate with. On a few occasions like my divorce date and other emotionally heavy days, Chris has gone out of his way to message me and check-in. I would highly recommend Chris, as I always looked forward to starting my week off with my therapy sessions.
He’s the best
I have had weekly sessions with Chris for 9 months. He has proved to be empathetic, experienced, skilled and an excellent counsellor. He has patiently guided me while I addressed the problems which have led me to suffering prolonged spells of depression and anxiety. I can happily say that I have signed off from therapy being able to say 'my goals have been achieved'. Thank you Chris both from myself and my happy family.
Chris is an excellent therapist. With his support I have finally started to see progress towards my goals.
Amazing professional, truly helps me navigate and work through my challenges.
I'm happy to continue with Chris
A compassionate, gentle person who’s able to communicate boundaries and encouragement clearly and helpfully. I appreciate that he’s able to keep me focused on my goals while being sensitive to how much support/empowerment/encouragement I need to keep meeting them
Chris is the man. Very smart and focused.
Feom the start, Christopher gave some really good advice, he listened and understood the issues i was having and after the 1st session and doing some exercises i began to feel more relaxed. T
Great therapist, super helpful and insightful. Very calming and gives great advice. I always look forward to our sessions.
I’ve only completed 2 weeks with Christopher but he’s been able to help me a lot with a plethora of personal issues. He listens to me and allows me to share how I feel confidently.
still getting to know each other but i am very comfortable with Chris. I trust his expertise and patience.
A friendly man who knows how to listen and take on board what you say for the purpose of providing you with a course of action to potentially better your situation.
Genuinely excellent therapist :)
I’ve only had 2 sessions with Christopher but I already feel like I have some tools in place to make better decisions and to help me monitor my reactions in overwhelming situations
He’s been an amazing!
An amazing person who made me feel good about therapy
I have only had 2 sessions with Chris so far but have come away from both with new ways of thinking about things. He has given me a lot of helpful work sheets which help process your thoughts easily. I have found it very easy and helpful speaking with Chris
