Meet the Therapist

Hello, my name is Christopher (he/him), and I am a fully qualified integrative therapist registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). My approach is rooted in humanistic, psychodynamic, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) modalities, allowing me to tailor therapy to meet your unique needs and experiences. My practice includes supporting individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and family issues, grief, and bereavement. I also have experience working with clients who are processing past trauma, offering a safe space for reflection and healing at a pace that feels right for you.

Professional Qualifications

I hold qualifications and I am accredited in the following areas:

  • Foundation Degree in Integrative Counselling – University of Ulster
  • L4 Integrative Counselling – University of Ulster
  • Applied Risk Intervention Skills Training (ASIST)
  • Online Therapy Skills & Assessment – Open University
  • Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity Training – TRP

My Style of Therapy

In our work together, you will find a collaborative and non-judgemental space, where your voice will be heard and respected and your expertise in your own life experience will be valued. Therapy with me is about building a supportive partnership, exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a way that honours your personal journey and allows you to feel empowered in your life.
