Christopher Ingram, BACP

Christopher Ingram is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions and sexual intimacy issues. He also supports those facing trauma, depression, ADHD and struggles around gender identity. His first aim is to make the first step feel manageable and straightforward.

Sessions are client-led and collaborative. He blends several methods to match the conversation to what matters most to the person in the room. That means practical tools when needed and space to make sense of painful experiences.

He uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work alongside client-centred listening. These methods help with unwanted thoughts, difficult feelings and patterns that get in the way of day-to-day life.

Christopher holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He has three years of practice experience and draws on that time to keep sessions grounded and focused on small, useful steps.

He works with a wide range of concerns including relationship strain, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting stress, chronic illness, and issues linked to identity and body image. He aims to help people build clearer choices, steadier routines and more manageable ways of coping.

People interested in starting are invited to complete a short questionnaire and arrange a session. Christopher works from the United Kingdom and runs collaborative sessions aimed at helping people move forward from where they are now.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match a person’s values. It often uses simple exercises to change how people respond to pain or worry. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current trust and closeness issues and helps people try different ways of connecting.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and try methods that match a client’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow sessions to continue for people who live abroad, since international clients are accepted. The focus online remains on practical tools, clear goals and steady progress rather than any single method.
