About Chris

Chris Allen is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical practice. He has run his own independent practice for the past year and focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. Chris aims to create a calm and accepting space where someone can talk things through without pressure.

He works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems.

Background and approach

He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addiction and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. He pays particular attention to men's mental health and encourages men to express emotions before they become overwhelming. Chris describes his style as relaxed, warm and supportive.

He listens with empathy and offers positive regard while avoiding quick fixes. Sessions are led by the client’s priorities and pace so people can reach their own conclusions about what helps them best. In practice he helps people face past hurt, recover from relationship breakdowns, cope with job loss and rebuild a sense of direction.

He also assists with family-related concerns such as adoption and fatherhood issues, and with personal struggles like body image, guilt and forgiveness. Sessions are available in English and can be delivered online through video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Chris is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and is open to working with clients inside and outside the UK.

Ways of working Chris names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Person-centred approaches and online therapy options

Chris works primarily with a person-centred approach. This means the focus is on the person rather than labels. The counsellor listens carefully, offers empathy and positive regard, and supports people to find their own answers. This approach suits issues like low mood, relationship problems, grief and self-esteem concerns.

That therapeutic approach is straightforward and collaborative. Chris will work with each person to figure out what helps most, tailoring sessions to your needs and preferences. Deciding which way of working to use is something you do together over the first few sessions rather than being decided upfront.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when you want face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be low-bandwidth and easier to fit around a break at work. Live chat or text messaging allow shorter check-ins or a way to keep talking without being on camera. These options make it easier to arrange regular sessions and to keep therapy going when life is busy or travel is difficult.
