Chris is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and has worked within the field of mental health for over 16 years. He uses a balance of approaches including Person Centred, Cognitive, Behavioural and Short-Term Psychodynamic therapies.
His current work includes counselling within a GP practice at Imperial College London. Chris works with students, staff and local residents presenting with issues including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties.
Prior to training as a counsellor, Chris worked within a central London day centre for homeless people supporting and assessing clients from diverse cultures and backgrounds often presenting with complex, traumatic and sometimes violent personal histories.
Chris believes that with a good therapeutic relationship and the focus and activity of both therapist and patient, unhelpful patterns of behaviour can be identified and worked through. This can create the opportunity for longer-term change and the development of a more positive approach to life’s challenges.
