About me
Hi, I’m Christian. I’m an integrative counsellor offering face-to-face counselling in Plymouth and online sessions across the UK, with a particular focus on men’s mental health.
A lot of the men I work with aren’t in crisis. They’re functioning, working, showing up and getting on with life. But underneath, something feels off. You might feel anxious, disconnected, frustrated, low, stuck, or simply not quite like yourself.
You may have spent a long time trying to manage things on your own, or perhaps you understand what is going on intellectually but still find yourself repeating the same patterns.
My approach is straightforward, relational and human. We work together to understand what is happening beneath the surface, make sense of the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and turn that understanding into meaningful change in everyday life.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting counselling. Sometimes knowing that something needs to change is enough of a place to begin.

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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Additional information
I offer a complimentary introductory call so you can ask any questions, get a sense of how I work and decide whether counselling with me feels like the right fit.
If we decide to work together, sessions are available weekly or fortnightly, face to face in Plymouth or online.
You do not need to arrive knowing exactly what you want to talk about. Sometimes we simply start with the sense that something feels difficult, heavy or stuck and work from there.
