About Christopher

Christopher Sarfo is a counsellor who works from a client-centred approach. He focuses on creating a calm, accepting space where people can talk through what matters most to them and decide what change they want. Christopher holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and he brings seven years of practice to his sessions.

He often draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-informed ideas to help with anxiety, depression and traumatic experiences. Sessions aim to identify practical steps someone can try between meetings, as well as ways to make sense of painful patterns in relationships and family life.

Christopher has experience with a wide range of concerns including stress, grief, addictions, intimacy issues and problems with eating or sleeping. He also supports people dealing with anger, low self-esteem, career change, parenting stresses and ADHD-related challenges.

His additional focus areas include communication and commitment issues, fatherhood concerns, multicultural matters, guilt and shame, and feeling isolated or alone. He can also work with people coping with self-harm and social anxiety or phobia.

Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and circumstances. Christopher can help identify onward support options when needed and aims to make the therapy relationship straightforward and practical.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Christopher draws on Client-Centred Therapy to start, which means sessions focus on the person's experience and priorities and aim to build a trusting, non-judgemental relationship. This approach suits people who want a listening space to clarify what matters to them.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small practical experiments that can reduce anxiety and low mood. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how past relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That plan can change as therapy progresses so the process stays collaborative.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work, family and travel, and reducing the need to commute. Some formats use less bandwidth or work well without video, which can make check-ins quicker on busy days. The biography does not list which session formats are offered here, so please confirm current options before booking.
