Chris Wilson, BACP

Chris Wilson is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP accreditation, and he offers a respectful, compassionate approach to people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns. Chris frames the first meeting as a chance to understand what matters to the client and to agree clear next steps together.

He draws on several therapeutic approaches to shape the work around each person's needs. That means sessions might look different depending on whether someone is dealing with grief, addiction, trauma, life changes or career strain. Chris emphasises practical strategies alongside time to reflect on difficult feelings.

Chris has four years of clinical experience. He has worked in a prison setting where he supported people with addiction, anger and trauma issues. He has also worked with athletes and performers through injury, retirement and other transitions.

In independent practice he sees a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, intimacy-related issues, parenting and family stress, eating and substance issues, and adjustment after separation. He aims to tailor each plan so it fits the client’s circumstances and goals.

Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. The initial focus is on identifying small, achievable steps. Over time the work can address deeper patterns and attachment difficulties as needed.

How Chris's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, then commit to actions that match their values; it is often useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can be helpful for intimacy, abandonment and family-related concerns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and collaboration so the client leads the pace and topics of therapy.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Chris will discuss goals, preferences and what’s felt most useful so sessions can shift if needed. He aims to be collaborative, checking in about methods and adjusting them to suit each person.

Please confirm which online session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, offer shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove travel for people living further from a practice. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools and exercises for remote sessions so practical skills and reflective conversations continue to be effective.
