About Chris

Chris Wilson is a counsellor who uses an integrative, relational way of working. He combines several approaches to tailor sessions to what each person needs. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what is worrying them.

Chris has four years of experience and practises in the United Kingdom. He has worked in community settings and in a prison environment. That has included supporting people with addiction, anger and trauma, and helping performers and athletes through injury, retirement and other transitions.

Background and approach

In sessions Chris helps people with a wide range of concerns. These include stress and anxiety, depression, relationship strains, self-esteem, career pressures and coping with life changes. He also addresses issues such as grief, intimacy-related worries, ADHD, addictions and LGBT-related concerns.

His approach draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work, client-centred conversations, existential thinking and psychodynamic ideas. He adapts his way of working to the person in front of him rather than following a fixed script. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and clearer understanding of patterns that cause difficulty.

Chris works in person in the community and also offers online options. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. He holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, as noted in his professional details.

Taking the first step can feel hard. Chris aims to make it straightforward to start, and to help people build coping skills and a clearer sense of direction over time.

How his therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and decisions about life direction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect present behaviour and trust; it is helpful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns and family-related patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering a non‑judgemental conversation where the person sets the pace and topics, which supports increases in self‑awareness and confidence.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Chris will talk through different ways of working and agree what to try first based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can change over time as new issues emerge or progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a standard therapy session where visual cues matter. Phone calls can suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, reflective notes or when someone prefers written dialogue. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, travel or busy family life.
