Hello, I'm Christopher, a qualified and experienced Psychotherapist and Counsellor working with, Adults, Children & Young People and Couples in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire and Lincoln. As a Humanistic Psychotherapist and Counsellor, I believe everyone has the capacity to achieve their fullest potential and no problem is too big or too small to ask for help.

Having trained as an integrative and relational psychotherapist, I am able to make use of a range of models and approaches to therapy. Furthermore, I place a great deal of emphasis on the need for a therapeutic relationship between you (the client) and me. After all, if the relationship is open and honest and the client is treated with respect, acceptance and understanding, change can occur.

I became a psychotherapist after a long career in health and social care settings. Where I strived to make the right support available, to those who needed it, at the right time. As a psychotherapist, I still believe that being able to get the help you want when you need it most is important. Moreover, I believe therapy should be accessible to everyone, regardless of age, ability or concerns.

I work with clients of all ages, from 4 years old, I will also work with people living with disabilities, long-term mental health conditions, Autism Spectrum Disorder and addiction.

As well as individual therapy, I specialise in working with couples where one or both partners have or might have a neurodiverse condition such as Autism or ADHD.

And I am able to offer discounted rates in certain circumstances, which I will be happy to discuss with you during our initial phone consultation.

My work as a therapist is influenced by Existential philosophy, which explores what it is like to be Human and to come to terms with life in all its confusing intricacy. I understand that life can be tough, and many of us need a little help to make sense of the world and our place in it.

Moreover, the existential tradition avoids labelling difficulties as "illness" and focuses on understanding them as consequences of the challenges of living. After all, we are all unique and only you know what it is like to be you.

Therefore, I will work with you in a way that suits your needs, we will focus on the things that are important to you. Together, we will explore your concerns and how, through deeper understanding, you can make choices about the way you live your life.
