About Chris

Chris Callahan-Brown is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with stress, anxiety and relationship concerns, and supports people coping with grief, low mood, motivation and self-esteem. He also works with a wide range of other worries including addictions, eating issues, ADHD and intimacy-related concerns.

Chris keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. He listens for what matters to each person and helps them look at practical steps they can try between meetings. He uses approaches such as client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, and brief solution-focused work to help people notice what changes make a difference.

In the room he focuses on clear goals and small, achievable actions. That may mean naming unhelpful thoughts, testing them against real-life situations, or trying short experiments to build confidence. He also addresses how relationships and past experiences affect current patterns, helping people make sense of repeated difficulties.

Chris has worked with a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress and issues around sexuality and kink. He accepts international clients and runs sessions for people who want practical tools alongside open, non-judgemental conversation.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. The therapist follows the client’s lead to help them clarify concerns and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable goals and on solutions that can be tried quickly to see if they help.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Chris will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. That collaborative choice means sessions can shift if something isn’t helping or if you want a different focus.

The biography does not specify which online session types are offered, so please confirm formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around everyday life, such as squeezing a short check-in into a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It also allows practical exercises and homework to be reviewed straight away, and can support steady progress when weekly meetings are difficult to schedule.
