About Christopher

Christopher Poole is a counsellor who works from a person-centred stance and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage strong emotions and life challenges. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings four years of professional experience to his practice. Christopher aims to make the first step less daunting for anyone thinking about therapy.

He focuses on common concerns such as stress and anxiety, low mood and self-esteem, and problems around relationships and communication.

Background and approach

He also supports people coping with grief, parenting strains, anger, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs most in the moment. Christopher works with issues linked to identity and purpose, including feelings of emptiness, isolation, guilt and shame, and men’s issues such as fatherhood matters.

He is comfortable discussing practical worries too, including money and career-related stress. His approach is straightforward and down-to-earth rather than overly clinical. In sessions he aims to listen closely and build understanding before suggesting ways forward.

Conversations and techniques are tailored so they fit a person’s life and goals. He encourages small, manageable steps that can lead to clearer thinking and steadier coping. People who choose him can expect a respectful, sensitive and non-judgemental space.

Christopher describes his role as supportive and empowering, helping people find the changes they want and work towards greater wellbeing.

How evidence-based approaches translate online

Christopher combines person-centred listening with evidence-based techniques to help people make practical changes. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them against everyday evidence, which can reduce worry and low mood. Another approach emphasises building small, achievable habits and coping tools to manage stress, anger and life transitions, helping people feel steadier day to day.

Finding the right method is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to try techniques and adjust them based on what helps most. Sessions begin with listening and goal-setting, then explore approaches that fit the person's situation and preferences rather than applying a single method straight away.

Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation when possible, phone sessions can suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging or live chat allow for written reflection and easier fitting around a busy day. These options help people access support from different places and at times that work for them.
