How Chris’s approaches work for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the client leads the pace and priorities. This approach helps people who need a listening space to make sense of feelings and decide next steps.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy aims to help people identify and work with strong emotions as they come up in sessions. It can be useful for grief, relationship struggles and patterns that keep repeating.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy process. Chris will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt the approach together. That collaborative step helps make sure sessions stay relevant to the client’s life.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of appointments into a busy day and avoiding travel time. Different session styles can support this - for example, shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations can suit a tighter schedule or lower bandwidth needs. The biography does not list which formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps maintain steady progress while balancing work, family and other commitments.
