About me
Hello, I’m Chris.
For over 14 years I have worked alongside families, school pupils, and young adults to create bespoke strategies for navigating life with neurodiversity. If you’re facing emotional overwhelm, stress, or just feel that something isn't quite right, I provide a calm, judgment-free space to help you make sense of it all.
My Specialisms Include:
Autism / ASD / ADHD
Down's Syndrome
Emotional & Behavioural Difficulties (EBD)
General life changes, stress, and anxiety
What you can expect from me: As an integrative counsellor, I wrap my approach around your specific needs, not the other way around. Our sessions are a collaboration. We will work together to create practical, real-world plans to help you overcome difficult situations, build life skills, and achieve your personal goals.
When & How We Can Meet:
When: Weekday evenings & weekend daytime sessions.
How: Online, telephone, or face-to-face.
Take the First Step: I offer a free 20-minute phone or online consultation to answer any questions you have and discuss how I can best support you. Please feel free to send me a message to book yours.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
