About Chris
Chris Whitwood is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years of professional experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy, self‑esteem and motivation.
Chris offers straightforward, practical sessions that focus on what is happening now and what the client wants to change. He encourages people to talk through thoughts and feelings without judgement. Sessions aim to be clear and paced to each person's comfort level.
His background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as depression, addictions, grief and relationship difficulties. He also supports people facing parenting strain, career changes, chronic health problems and caregiver stress. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and ADHD.
In sessions Chris helps people develop tools for coping with anger, sleeping problems, eating issues and low motivation. He uses evidence‑based therapeutic techniques to address patterns that maintain distress and to build practical skills for everyday life.
Chris works in English and accepts international clients. He explains the process clearly and asks about goals at the start so each session has a practical direction. To book a first session clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an appointment.
How evidence based techniques are used in online sessions
Chris commonly uses evidence based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building practical skills. One approach involves identifying thinking patterns that feed anxiety and trying alternative ways of responding; this helps people with persistent worry and social anxiety to test new behaviours. Another approach focuses on emotion regulation and grounding methods to reduce overwhelm after trauma or during intense stress, useful for panic, trauma reactions and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, then agree on methods to try together. This makes sessions collaborative and aimed at clear, achievable steps rather than vague theory.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow regular check‑ins that slot around work or family commitments. They also make it possible for international clients to work with a UK‑based counsellor without relocating. Ask about formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
