With four years' experience, Chris has worked in a range of settings. He has supported people in custody with addiction, anger and trauma. He has also assisted professional athletes and performers through injury, retirement and other life transitions. In his private practice he sees a broad mix of concerns from career stress to intimacy issues and eating-related problems.

Chris aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity. He makes therapy collaborative and practical, focusing on what can be changed and how to cope with what cannot. He explains approaches plainly and tailors work to each person's priorities. People who choose him can expect a calm, steady presence and straightforward conversation about their goals.

How Chris uses therapeutic approaches online and in sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on what matters to them. It supports work on anxiety, depression and life changes by building practical skills and clearer values-based goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with trust, intimacy and abandonment wounds by gently exploring relational habits. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work, offering empathic listening and space to find their own answers when dealing with grief, career shifts or identity concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Chris will discuss different options and work together with each person to decide what feels most useful. That collaborative decision makes it easier to try out techniques and adjust the plan as goals evolve.

The source biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-in conversations when schedules are tight. The focus is on practical support that suits a person's routine and helps them put changes into practice between meetings.
