Chris Rudyard - Psychotherapist
He/Him/His

With over 20 years of experience in mental health, trauma work, and 18 years practising counselling and psychotherapy, I have found that just one therapy model can be restrictive to therapy. So, I work flexibly integrating a range of approaches, rather than a single method. I'm one of the few therapists in the UK at present who is trained in, and integrates a range of psychotherapies that integrates into IFS Therapy. Together, the therapies below go deep, gentle, and are yet powerful therapies that can create lasting change. Some of the psychotherapy trainings I've completed: 
​
  • AEDP - Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (Lv1 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, NLP Rewind Technique & Solution Focused)
  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy/DBT Essentials
  • 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 + Masterclass)
  • IFS Informed EMDR
  • Inner Child Work
  • Mindfulness
  • NLP/Neurolinguistic Programming
  • NLP ​Professional Coaching
  • Polyvagal Theory & Oxytocin (with Dr. Stephen Porges)
  • Solution Focused Counselling
  • Somatic Experiencing Therapy
  • Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Trauma Themes Lv1)
  • Sports & Performance Enhancement (Dr. David Grand)
  • ​Clinical Supervision (qualified professionals only)
  • Trauma Informed​

I have provided counselling services and have been employed as a counsellor & psychotherapist with:

​Employee Assistance Providers
Small - Large Businesses, Charities, Government Departments,
NHS Hospitals & Surgeries, Local Authorities
Macmillan, Rehab Works, Vita Health,
Relate, Over 60 Schools, & The Priory
​
I am also experienced in working with people from all kinds of backgrounds and cultures.

Whether this is your first time seeing someone, or you have seen me, or other counsellors/therapists before,
you are welcome to come and see me.

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.



Neuroscience & Psychotherapy


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

Somatic therapies are more than just talking about it, they are usually 'doing therapies'
they work with you - not against you, they can be quicker, gentle yet powerful ways of working.

​The psychotherapies I integrate that are considered 'neurotherapies' they are:
AEDP, ​Brainspotting, EMDR, EMI, Polyvagal Theory & Sensorimotor Psychotherapy

​I most often use these methods to treat:
​
Addictions, Attachment Wounds, Complex Trauma, Phobias, Performance Enhancement, PTSD & Trauma, ​and
Unexplained Physical Symptoms, Sex Problems, Sports Enhancement

"I really understand myself a lot better after working with you, and it was so useful to talk through my problems in a safe environment with someone completely non-judgmental. I have taken a lot from our sessions, everything is now looking much brighter!  If I ever feel I need any more support I will certainly get in touch, and likewise I will definitely be recommending you if any of my friends are looking for some counselling. So thank you once again, it has been such a valuable experience for me". A Client
