About me
Hello, I’m Chris.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in a cycle of stress, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Whether you’re navigating a major life change, managing daily pressure or simply need a safe, grounded space to process what’s going on, I offer a calm and judgment-free environment to help you find your footing.
With over 14 years of experience supporting adults, young people, and families, my approach is practical, collaborative, and tailored entirely to you. As an integrative counsellor, I don't use a rigid, one-size-fits-all template. Instead, we’ll work together to build real-world strategies that make sense for your unique life—helping you break down complex challenges, build self-awareness, and restore balance.
Alongside my general practice, I bring over a decade of specialist experience supporting neurodivergent individuals (including Autism and ADHD). I warmly welcome both neurotypical and neurodivergent clients, ensuring therapy feels accessible, clear, and adapted to how your mind works best.
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 so we can discuss what you're looking for and see if we're a good fit. 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.
