Chris Wilson, BACP

Chris Wilson is a counsellor who uses an integrative relational approach to tailor therapy to each person. He holds BACP accreditation, and he draws on several ways of working to meet practical needs. Chris is approachable and direct, and he aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is anxious or unsure.

He focuses on stress, anxiety and mood difficulties, and he helps people with relationship and intimacy-related issues. His work also covers self-esteem, motivation and coping with life changes like career shifts or retirement. Chris has experience supporting people facing addiction, anger, trauma and grief, and he includes work on attachment, abandonment and body image concerns.

Chris has worked in custodial settings, helping people address addiction, anger and trauma. He has also supported professional athletes and performers through injury, retirement and transitional phases. Alongside that he runs a private practice in the community where he sees a wide range of life challenges.

In sessions he adapts methods to the person in front of him rather than following a fixed script. He aims to listen carefully, reflect what he hears and help people set realistic next steps. The emphasis is on practical change as well as understanding how old patterns still affect present life.

Chris offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. He describes the therapy space as one where people are met with respect and compassion, and he works collaboratively to create a plan that suits each person's needs.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then focus on actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy, attachment issues and relationship difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person's experience, using active listening and empathy to help people find their own way forward and build self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chris will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then tailor the way he works. He treats this as a collaboration, adjusting methods as you notice what helps and what does not.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as current options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a workday. It can also make regular attendance more practical when people are managing relocation, travel or unpredictable schedules. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists with relational and integrative backgrounds, commonly use online sessions to maintain continuity of care and adapt therapy to real-life constraints.
