About Chris

He also supports people dealing with ADHD, eating concerns, anger, career stress and life changes. Chris works in English and Afrikaans and is based in the United Kingdom.

Background and approach
Therapy with Chris looks at how past and present hurts affect day-to-day life. He pays attention to how feelings live in the body as well as in thought. This helps when trauma or long-standing patterns make everyday life harder.
He draws on attachment ideas to understand relationships and on client-centred practice to keep the person’s experience central. Jungian and existential perspectives are used to explore meaning and identity. Mindfulness tools are introduced to help with grounding and emotional regulation.
Chris has seven years of experience and holds the NCPS credential. He often helps people reflect on why they do what they do, and on how to regain a sense of choice in life. The aim is practical change that feels lasting and humane.
People interested in starting are asked to use the platform’s Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How Chris works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Chris will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice can shift during therapy as new insights appear and different tools are tried.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it simpler to check in between commitments or to use shorter sessions when needed. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available with this counsellor.
