About Chris
Chris Wilson is a counsellor who works from a client-centred perspective. He aims to create an open, respectful space where people can speak about stress, anxiety, relationships and self-esteem in their own words. He uses a straightforward approach to help people make practical changes and feel more able to cope with life’s ups and downs.
With four years’ experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), he draws on several ways of working to suit each person. He has helped people dealing with addiction, trauma, grief, anger and career changes. He has also supported those facing issues such as body image, fertility concerns and the strain of separation or divorce.
Past work includes practice in a custodial setting, where he supported people addressing addiction, anger and traumatic experiences. He has also worked with athletes and performers managing injury, retirement and life transitions. He runs a private practice and sees people from the local community.
His sessions focus on listening closely and tailoring the process to each person’s needs. He aims to balance exploration of feelings with practical steps that fit everyday life. People are encouraged to set goals they find meaningful and to move at a pace that suits them.
Chris offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. He uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and arrange sessions according to his availability.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people lead the conversation about what matters to them. Online work grounded in this approach lets a counsellor follow your pace and priorities while you discuss stress, relationships or self-esteem.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps that match their values. In remote sessions ACT can support practical experiments and small behaviour changes between meetings to build momentum.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating that formed early in life and how they affect current relationships. Working online can make it easier to reflect on these patterns and try new ways of connecting with others.
Choosing the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences, and will help decide which approach or combination is likely to be most helpful. This is a collaborative decision made over the first few sessions.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Different formats can suit different needs - for example a voice-only session can be quicker and needs less bandwidth, while a video session lets the counsellor and client read non-verbal cues. Online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and support continuity when travel or relocation would otherwise interrupt care.
