More about Christopher

Hello. My name is Christopher and I am an experienced therapeutic counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy).

Sometimes people know why they are seeking therapy, but often it is the case that the reason is vague and people simply have a sense that things are not quite how they should be, or how they would like them to be. My aim is to create an environment where people can discover and explore what is most vital to them.

At times, talking about our issues can be difficult as the things that trouble us can leave our minds cloudy. That is why you can expect a relaxed space where you are free to talk at your own pace, and without the pressure of expectation. 

I will ask you questions about the things you bring to therapy so that you might have the opportunity to consider them more deeply. I believe in seeing things clearly, and finding a way to articulate experience into a personal narrative, to be fundamental to finding positive therapeutic outcomes.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
