Background and approach
His experience includes supporting LGBT concerns, issues around intimacy and identity, and difficulties linked to grief and major life changes. He also works with patterns such as codependency, compulsive behaviours and problems with anger or impulsivity. Christopher uses a mix of talking therapies and evidence-informed tools.
He draws on client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, emotionally-focused work and EMDR alongside hypnotherapy when appropriate. The emphasis is on practical steps you can try between sessions. People are invited to set clear goals and review progress regularly.
He will help you identify coping strategies and small changes that can make daily life easier. The overall aim is to support people to feel more in control and able to face difficult feelings and situations.
Approaches that suit online therapy
Christopher blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and can set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and offers exercises to practice between sessions.He also uses emotionally-focused ideas to help people understand patterns in relationships and strong feelings, and EMDR for people who are processing traumatic memories. These approaches can be adapted for remote work so sessions still include talking, guided exercises and step-by-step plans to try afterwards.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try things out and adjust methods to fit your needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually helps you.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let you use visual cues and exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging suit brief check-ins or ongoing support, and text-based work can fit into a busy day. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work or family life.
