About Chris
Chris Allen is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical practice. He is a BACP member and has been running his own practice for the past year. He focuses on encouraging men to talk about their feelings rather than bottling things up. Chris aims to create a relaxed and warm space where people can speak openly about what matters to them.
He works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. He also supports people facing trauma and abuse, addiction, body image and eating issues, and challenges tied to parenting and fatherhood. Additional areas he attends to include abandonment, codependency, communication problems and infidelity.
Chris’s approach is rooted in client-centred therapy. He listens without judgement and aims to reflect what clients bring so they can reach their own conclusions. Sessions are shaped around empathy, genuineness and positive regard, rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
In practical terms he helps people work through the pain of the past, manage the impact of a breakup or job loss, and make decisions about the future. The focus is on helping each person find the answers that fit their life. He invites people to take steps towards change at their own pace.
If someone wants a straightforward, person-focused counsellor who prioritises listening and respect, Chris offers an approachable style and a calm presence in sessions.
How client-centred work adapts to online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person speaking and responding with empathy and genuine understanding. In practice this means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear, and helps the client explore their own thoughts and feelings so they can reach personal decisions. This approach suits issues like low mood, relationship concerns, grief and self-esteem because it centres the client’s experience.Chris uses the client-centred method to support people who want space to talk through stress, anxiety, addictions or life changes. He will work collaboratively to identify what matters most and to decide how sessions should be structured. Finding the right style of work is part of the process, and he helps clients adjust the approach as needs and goals become clearer.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online counselling easier to fit around work and family life, reduces travel time and makes regular sessions simpler to keep. Others appreciate that a shorter check-in or a session without video can be less demanding on energy or bandwidth, and that these practical choices can help maintain consistency in therapy.
