Chris Holden is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, self-esteem and confidence concerns, career issues, and the challenges of life change. With over thirty years of experience in training, decision-making and leadership coaching, he offers a calm, non-judgmental space where clients can openly explore their thoughts and feelings.
His extensive background has produced advanced skills in high-stakes communication, conflict resolution and team dynamics. Combined with person-centred counselling training and substantial coaching experience, this equips him to give empathetic, practical support to individuals navigating major transitions and pursuing meaningful personal growth.
Recognising that taking the first step requires courage, Chris is committed to guiding and empowering people as they build resilience, embrace change and unlock potential. He brings an approach rooted in empathy, integrity and a holistic understanding, helping clients increase self-awareness, strengthen confidence and enhance overall well-being. He is an older, non-religious male therapist with a liberal outlook.
Many people wonder whether remote counselling can truly help. For common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or managing life changes - online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
A key advantage is flexibility. Individuals can choose the format that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be better. This combination of accessibility and professional support makes online therapy a practical option for many seeking help with everyday mental health concerns.
