About Chris
Chris Wilson is a counsellor with BACP registration and four years' experience in the United Kingdom. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes, and also lists ADHD, addictions, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, career and depression among his focus areas.
He uses an integrative-relational approach, combining ideas from different therapies to suit each person. In practice this means sessions can include talking through current problems, looking at patterns from earlier relationships, and trying small changes to daily routines that reduce distress.
Chris has worked in a range of settings, including a prison environment where he supported people dealing with addiction, anger and trauma. He has also worked with professional athletes and performers on issues such as injury, retirement and life transitions.
Alongside community work, he runs a busy private practice seeing people for face-to-face sessions. In meetings he aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity while focusing on practical steps that fit their situation.
Sessions typically start by clarifying what the person wants to achieve and identifying manageable first steps. Over time the work can shift between exploring underlying patterns and working on practical coping strategies for everyday situations.
Therapeutic approaches used in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then focus on small actions that align with what matters to them. This can be useful for anxiety, avoidance and motivation problems.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and reactions. It can help with trust issues, intimacy-related concerns and problems that repeat across relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and help choose which methods to try. That choice is reviewed as progress unfolds so sessions stay relevant to what the person wants.
Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific online or remote options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and offer alternatives to face-to-face meetings for people who prefer not to travel.
