Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
My name is Chris and I am a licensed BACP-registered counsellor based in the UK. Since completing my training over 10 years ago, I have been dedicated to supporting individuals navigating life and mental health challenges. My experience includes counselling adults, teens and children in one-to-one and group settings. Having now moved my practice online, I am excited to be able to offer the convenience and flexibility of online therapy.
My journey began counselling clients in an NHS mental health day centre, and later, for the charity Mind. This work ignited my passion for mental health recovery and I started working with clients using WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Planning) to develop personalised coping strategies. My background in mental health has helped deepen my understanding of human suffering, as well as our amazing capacity for growth and change when we choose to pursue a happier life.
I’ve also had the privilege of volunteering for Place2Be, providing counselling to children in a primary school setting. This early-intervention work was very rewarding and reinforced for me the importance of nurturing emotional wellbeing at every life stage. Working with children has informed and enriched my work with adults by deepening my understanding of the integral role our childhood experiences play in shaping us as individuals.
My core training as a person-centred counsellor means I place you at the heart of our work. I believe that you are the expert of your own story, and my priority is to provide a safe space where you can share, and feel understood, without fear of being judged. I will also work with you to identify any goals you might have, and together we can develop strategies to help you achieve these. It is my hope that you will consider our sessions a safe and supportive place to explore difficult feelings and create positive change in your life.

His work has included one-to-one and group counselling with adults, teenagers and children.

He also volunteered with Place2Be, providing counselling to children in a primary school setting. That early-intervention work reinforced his belief in nurturing emotional wellbeing across the lifespan and has informed his approach to working with adults by highlighting how childhood experiences shape life patterns.
Trained in a person-centred approach, Christopher places the individual at the heart of the therapeutic process. He aims to offer a non-judgemental space where people can feel heard and understood, and he collaborates with clients to identify goals and practical strategies to support positive change.
Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For a range of common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and navigating life changes – online therapy is considered comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions for most situations.
A key advantage is the flexibility it offers. 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 routine or to access support from different locations.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapist if they feel another fit would be better. This adaptability and range of communication options make online therapy a practical choice for many seeking support.
