More about Christopher

  • 3 years' experience

  • BACP

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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
