About Chris

Chris Wilson is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. He also supports people dealing with life changes, self-esteem and issues linked to addiction and ADHD.

His day-to-day work draws on multiple approaches so sessions can focus on practical steps and deeper reflection. He has worked in prisons supporting people with addiction, anger and trauma. He has also supported athletes and performers through injury, retirement and other transitions.

In private practice he meets people dealing with grief, intimacy and career questions. He talks with clients about control, commitment and attachment-related concerns, and he helps people who are processing abandonment, adoption and family-related topics. He also addresses body image, eating issues and fertility or fatherhood-related stress.

Sessions balance short-term coping strategies with attention to how past relationships shape current patterns. Conversations are typically straightforward and paced to fit the person's needs. Chris describes sessions as collaborative work where both practical actions and personal reflection can be considered.

People considering therapy are asked to use the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial appointment. Fees vary by location and are organised through a cancellable subscription model. International clients can be accepted, and sessions are offered in English.

How key approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions aligned with those values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety and situations where someone feels stuck and unsure what to do next.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and patterns in close connections. This approach can help when intimacy, abandonment or trust issues affect decisions about work or relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, for example allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break or saving travel time after a busy day. It can also let someone choose audio-only conversations when video would be difficult, or keep sessions to a practical length when that suits current routines. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and discussions in ways that fit online sessions and the client's needs.
