Hi, I'm Chris. Warm, easy to talk to, and serious about the work.
I've worked with clients for over ten years, and as a therapist for over five. I'm an ethical practitioner, and I bring both professional training and lived experience of what it's like to ask for help.
My story
Before moving into mental wellbeing, I worked in nightclubs. Along the way I received emotional health support myself, and it showed me how much difference the right conversation can make. That's what inspired me to help others build their own skills.
My work looks at how past experiences shape the present, often without us realising, while also helping you work towards the goals you want to reach. Clients often describe me as warm and easy to talk to, as well as reliable and insightful.
Outside the therapy room
I love long walks, often ten miles or more, locally and further afield, and I've had a lifelong love of house music, DJing as a hobby. My cats, Honey and Missy, may occasionally make an appearance in sessions.
