His work draws on several approaches, including client-centred methods, emotionally-focused ideas, mindfulness practice and solution-focused techniques. In plain terms this means time is spent listening, naming emotions, noticing patterns and identifying practical next steps that fit the person’s life.

How his approaches work online and in session
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what someone says so they feel heard and understood. This approach helps people who need a calm space to sort through feelings and make their own choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions and attachment patterns shape relationships and personal distress. It can help with grief, intimacy-related issues and strong emotional reactions by naming feelings and working through them.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Chris will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try ways of working together. He treats this as a collaborative process, adjusting techniques as understanding grows and needs change.
