About Christopher

Christopher Reed is a counsellor with 16 years of practice based in the United Kingdom. He supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, addiction, relationship difficulties, grief and issues around intimacy. He also offers help for LGBT concerns, ADHD and a range of sexual health topics including BDSM and kink culture.

Christopher works in a straightforward, respectful way. He listens first and then shapes sessions to suit each person’s needs.

Background and approach

Conversations are paced to fit what matters most to the client, whether that is short-term problem solving or deeper emotional work. He draws on several practical approaches including client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural ideas, emotionally-focused work, EMDR and hypnotherapy. These tools are used as appropriate to the problem and to how someone prefers to work.

The focus is on clear steps and simple techniques that people can try between sessions. Christopher describes himself as compassionate and sensitive. He aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant, not overwhelming.

People can expect a calm space to talk things through and to set realistic goals together. For those ready to begin, he asks people to choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Sessions are offered in English and are provided online in a range of formats.

Ways of working Christopher names

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

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Christopher uses client-centred work that focuses on understanding the person first and then following their pace. This approach is about being heard and shaping conversations around what the individual needs, which can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship worries.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. CBT gives straightforward tools people can use between sessions for stress, panic and obsessive thinking.

EMDR is included in his range of approaches and is used when past traumatic memories are affecting daily life. It involves guided processing of distressing memories to reduce their emotional impact and can be helpful for people with trauma symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christopher will discuss goals, preferences and what feels doable, then adjust methods as work progresses. The aim is to find a practical way forward together rather than imposing a single method.

Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual contact when that helps rapport. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need flexibility during the day. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring roles and daily life while keeping the focus on what will help most.
