HERE TO HELP YOU WITH:


I work with all the common mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, plus a large proportion of my clients come to heal, and get help with:


  • Difficult Relationships (all forms): As a child, adult or both, you may have been bereaved, hurt, let down, unloved, left or not loved in the right way. You may have experience of abusive, controlling relationships with someone, or many difficult people in your life. We can work together to help understand, heal and be free from what happened.
 
  • Complex Trauma & Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD): ​​You don’t need an official diagnosis to seek help for CPTSD. Many experience a range of symptoms linked to complex trauma, often leading to physical health issues due to nervous system stress. Usually steming from childhood abuse and neglect - whatever that looked like, sometimes without much memory. With training in multiple trauma therapies, I can help you find recovery paths that help towards healing.
 
  • Physical concerns: Chronic stress, early childhood trauma, and anxiety can manifest in physical ways. Many clients I work with experience conditions such as IBS, Fibromyalgia, chronic pains, PMDD, and Endometriosis. Together, we can address the mind-body connection, and support your holistic well-being.
 
  • Dissociation: Exists on a spectrum and can present in many forms, from feeling 'disconnected' or 'spacey' to experiencing memory gaps or different personas taking control (DID). I provide specialised guidance and therapeutic approaches designed to help you feel more grounded, connected, and present in your life.
​
  • Neurodiversity: Rather than diagnose, I provide support for those with ADD, ADHD, ASC, and AuDHD (whether diagnosed or not). CPTSD & PTSD, would be considered a Neuro-divergence too. My approach is tailored to help individuals navigate life’s unique challenges with understanding and acceptance.
Other Concerns



I'm not here to diagnose, or focus on diagnosis;

Instead, I help individuals—whether they carry diagnostic labels or not — work through the complexities of their experiences, the lasting impacts of trauma, and the challenges that arise through being human.

Are You Seeking Therapy That Goes Beyond
CBT and Traditional Talk Therapy?


​Many clients come to me looking for modern trauma therapies that go beyond the scope of CBT and traditional talk therapy.

People are searching for transformative approaches,
to address deep-rooted issues, that promote true healing

HOW DO I WORK WITH YOU?


I have found that relying on just one therapy model can be restrictive to people's recovery, so I have completed many additional trainings over the years, to improve my skills and ways of working to suit many more people.

I work flexibly, integrating various approaches and theories instead of relying on a single model.

People are all different, and I believe a therapist needs to be 'adaptable' to people, and what they present. The range of approaches I'm trained in helps me be flexible, and work thoroughly through it, to recovery.

I'm trained in and utilize therapies that go deep, are gentle, and are powerful to create lasting change. Some of the psychotherapy models I've completed training in:
​
  • AEDP - Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP Therapist)
  • Attachment Theory & Trauma
  • BSP - Brainspotting Therapy (Phase 1,2,3 and Masterclass)​
  • Person Centred Counselling/Interpersonal Therapy/PCT - (PCCS Training - Manchester)
  • CBT - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy 
  • Clinical Hypnotherapy (Eriksonian, Cognitive Hypnosis, Ego States, NLP Rewind Technique & Solution Focused)
  • DBR Therapist - Deep Brain Re-orientating Therapy Lv1&2
  • Ego State Therapy with EMDR (with Robin Shapiro)
  • EMI / EMIT - Eye Movement Integration (Lv 1,2 & Supervision)
  • ​EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (Lv 1,2,3) EMDR 2.0 & EMDR Flash​​​​
​
  • ​​IFS Psychotherapist - Internal Family Systems (IFS Institute Trained: Lv1,2,3 + Masterclasses)
  • IFS Informed EMDR
  • Inner Child Work
  • Mindfulness
  • NLP/Neurolinguistic Programming
  • NLP ​Professional Coaching
  • Lifespan Integration Lv 1 & 2
  • Polyvagal Theory & Oxytocin (with Dr. Stephen Porges)
  • Solution Focused Counselling
  • Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Trauma Themes)
  • Sports & Performance Enhancement (Dr. David Grand)
  • ​Clinical Supervision (qualified professionals only)
  • Trauma Informed & Trauma Therapy Trained

Although I now only work in private practice,
I have previously provided
counselling & psychotherapy services for:


Several ​Employee Assistance Providers
Small - Large Businesses, Charities, Government Departments,
Football Clubs
, NHS Hospitals & Surgeries, NHS workforce,
Local Authorities, Macmillan, Rehab Works, Vita Health,
Relate, Over 60 Schools, & The Priory

​

I have experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures.

Whether this is your first time seeing me, or you've seen other counsellors/therapists before, you are welcome to schedule an appointment.

I'm fluid in the way I work, and easy-going. I'll connect quickly with you, and get along, so I can help.

​No need to prepare what to talk about, just turn up on the day.


More About Chris


Neuroscience & Psychotherapy

I used to think of psychotherapy as an art.
The counselling & psychotherapy I provide now is a unique blend of
an ​art, humanity, philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience.
​
Therapies which are informed by neuroscience come under the
umbrella of 'neuropsychology' and maybe also be known as 'somatic therapies'.

Somatic therapies are more directive mind & body therapies, they require your participation
they are not focused on the story.. and they are not like yoga.
they work at depth with your emotions, physically, they can be quicker, gentle, yet powerful ways of working.

The psychotherapies I integrate, that are considered 'neurotherapies' or 'somatic therapies', are:
​
AEDP, ​Brainspotting, DBR Therapy, EMDR, EMI, Lifespan Integration
& Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.


​I most often use these methods to help treat things that
require more than just talking, such as:
​

Addiction/binging, Attachment Wounds, Complex Trauma, Phobias,
'Performance' Enhancement, PTSD, ​and

Unexplained Physical Symptoms, Sex Problems, Sports Enhancement
