About Chris
Chris Allen is a counsellor who has worked in practice for three years and now runs his own service. He describes a relaxed, warm style and aims to help people talk about their feelings. He has a particular interest in encouraging more men to share their experiences rather than keeping things bottled up.
He works with a wide range of common difficulties, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems and grief. He also supports people coping with trauma, addiction, intimacy issues and changes such as job loss or separation. Sessions are built around what each person brings, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Chris follows a Client-Centred Therapy approach, focusing on empathy, genuineness and positive regard. He listens with the intention of helping people arrive at their own answers. The aim is to help someone process painful memories, rebuild after a relationship ends, or make clearer decisions about next steps in life.
His manner is steady and supportive, and he emphasises that clients are the experts in their own lives. Work in therapy is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for the individual. Over time the goal is to reduce the burden of past difficulties and move towards goals the client chooses.
He provides counselling in the United Kingdom and works in English. People interested in starting can expect straightforward, conversational sessions that focus on practical ways to cope and clearer thinking about life choices.
