Approach

The practice offers an integrative approach that draws from CBT, relational, psychodynamic and humanistic therapies among other models. The clinician tailors interventions to the presenting issues and may use brief, time-limited work or longer-term therapy depending on client needs.

Initial contact typically begins with a brief, free telephone call to clarify needs and decide whether to proceed. The first session is used to gather history, set 2–3 therapy objectives and agree on a plan for review and ongoing sessions. Sessions can be adjusted in format and length according to practical requirements.

He is BACP and UKCP accredited and is a trained clinical supervisor. He has experience working with a range of agencies and supervising therapists in training.

Support

Clients are supported through a structured but flexible pathway that includes an initial telephone discussion, an intake/first session to set objectives and ongoing review of progress against agreed goals. The practice follows professional guidance on ethics and confidentiality for both in-person and online work.

Online sessions are provided using WhatsApp, Google Meet, MS Teams and other agreed media; clients are asked to ensure they have a confidential environment for online work. Chris also provides supervision for other practitioners.
