About Christopher
Christopher Robertson is a counsellor and a member of the BACP with five years' experience. He works in the United Kingdom and helps people with grief, trauma, stress, anxiety and related problems.
He aims to help people identify the causes of what they are struggling with. Sessions focus on talking through experiences and noticing patterns that keep problems going. He uses clear language and short-term work where that fits.
Christopher draws on client-centred principles. That means he listens closely and follows what each person brings to the room. He also uses existential ideas to look at meaning, choices and responsibility when life feels uncertain.
Mindfulness is part of his practice too. He teaches simple attention exercises to help with anxiety, intrusive memories and low mood. These are described in practical terms and used alongside talking.
People come for a range of issues including relationships, self-esteem, addictions, body image and parenting concerns. He also supports those facing career pressure, anger, loneliness and life changes such as separation or midlife transition.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial session.
Therapeutic approaches used for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and supporting a person to speak freely. It helps when someone needs to be heard and to make sense of their feelings in their own time.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility. It can help when life feels empty, when someone is facing major change, or when decisions are hard to make.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises to reduce worry and ease intrusive thoughts. These practices are often paired with talking so people can notice patterns and try alternatives.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss which methods seem most helpful and adapt what they do as goals and needs become clearer. This is a collaborative process where the person’s preferences guide the plan.
Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a day without travel and keeping meetings brief when needed. Online work can make it easier to meet across time zones since international clients are accepted. Confirm the available session formats before booking to check how meetings are scheduled and delivered.
