About Christopher
Christopher Hurd is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. He has four years of experience and aims to make the first steps feel less daunting. Christopher believes clients know themselves best and works alongside them to build on existing strengths.
He listens for how past experiences shape current struggles. That helps identify patterns that keep someone stuck. Christopher uses straightforward conversations to help people name feelings and try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
His approach combines client-centred listening with emotionally-focused work that looks at connection and attachment. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to trace repeating themes from earlier relationships. Hypnotherapy is offered as another tool where appropriate and agreed together.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to each person. Christopher aims to create space for people to explore grief, addiction, low self-esteem, relationship worries, and life changes without pressure. He emphasises practical steps alongside emotional understanding.
Christopher works with common concerns such as depression, trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, ADHD and bipolar mood challenges. He also supports people dealing with family of origin problems, caregiver stress, codependency and communication difficulties. People meet him for a calm, steady presence and a plan they can try between sessions.
The focus is on clearer self-understanding, healthier coping, and small changes that add up over time.
Approaches that suit online counselling
Christopher uses client-centred therapy to follow what matters most to the person in front of him. This approach means the therapist listens closely and helps people make their own choices about change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is also used to look at attachment and emotional patterns that affect relationships and self-worth. EFT can be helpful for people who want to understand how their feelings shape reactions and closeness with others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will talk through different options and decide with the client which methods feel most helpful for their goals. That collaborative process means techniques can be mixed or adjusted as progress is made and needs shift over time.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer brief, ongoing support between longer sessions and can fit around work or family commitments. Together these formats give flexibility so people can pick what matches their routine and comfort.
