Anxiety? Stress? Hi, I’m Chris, I can help you to a consistent, calm and confident state of being. Life can be hard and while we hope that we will be able to cope if we’re feeling low, anxious or distressed; sometimes coping just isn’t enough. Psychotherapy can help you find structure and stability when things feel chaotic. It can help when it feels like no one around you understands what it’s like to be you; when the way you feel makes no sense; or if you no longer feel that you're in control. With empathy and gentle curiosity, I use a combination of verbal and non-verbal, techniques to help you into your truest, clearest self.

I use EMDR and Lifespan integration to process the core historical trauma that might be triggering your current symptoms. I work within a relational framework which synthesises humanistic, psychodynamic, and solution focussed approaches. We explore deeply, discover, process trauma and then integrate. I welcome creative expression where needed.
I work part time as a Forensic Psychotherapist in the NHS. I also run a thriving private practice. I help people to process historical trauma, find stability and to thrive in their lives. I support people presenting with a range of issues including; low self confidence, grief, addictions, generalised anxiety, depression and social anxiety.
