Hello, I’m Chris, a qualified and experienced psychotherapist and counsellor, and registered member of the BACP. The decision to seek therapy often comes at a point in life when you’re wanting to create change. I understand how daunting it can be to reach out and make contact, which is why I offer a space that is non-judgemental, empathetic, interactive, and confidential. It’s a space for you to discuss whatever is on you mind.

Together, we would work like explorers, examining your thoughts and feelings, looking at behaviour patterns, and creating links between your present difficulties and past experiences. It’s a reflective space for you to think openly and honestly about your internal world.

I am trained in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, which underpins my theoretical framework. Working in a psychodynamic way means taking a closer look at your early relationships and experiences as these serve as a blueprint for your adult life and the difficulties you are experiencing in the present.

I also recognise that our internal worlds are influenced by our social contexts that goes beyond the individual, which might be at the core of your difficulties. This might be related to neurodiversity, racial, sexual, gender or class identity (or all of the above), or be a symptom of the cost of living crisis. Together, we would explore those thoughts and feelings and how best you can manage your situation.

I have experience of working with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, obsessive compulsive behaviour, men’s health, cultural identity, sexuality, young adults and students’ issues, ADHD and ASD related issues, bereavement and loss, domestic abuse, low self-esteem and low confidence, body image, stress, feeling low and “out of sorts”…

I have worked with a variety of clients from different racial and ethnic heritages, and the LGBTQ+ community. I offer time-limited, long term, and open ended counselling.

You can contact me via this site, email, or text. Please leave your name, mobile number, email, and a brief description of how I can help. I also offer a free, short phone call to discuss your needs in more detail with no obligation to proceed.

I offer a sliding scale for those who are students or on low incomes.
