People come to therapy for many reasons. Some are dealing with anxiety, low mood, stress, or relationship issues; others feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next steps. Many want a space where they can talk openly, feel heard, and understand themselves better. Therapy can support people in making sense of emotions and experiences, managing challenges, and developing skills that help them feel more balanced, confident, and connected to themselves. Therapy with me is just that, it's tailored to you and your unique needs and therapy goals.

Hi there, I'm Chris.
Have you or a loved one been struggling to cope with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed or low? Maybe social situations are difficult to face, or work and studies are harder to manage? Perhaps you've been experiencing really difficult unwanted and intrusive thoughts, or feeling driven to repeat certain actions. Doing the things that you used to be able to do maybe just feels too heavy. If you're a loved one, maybe you've noticed your young person change from how they used to be. If any of this sounds familiar, I can help by providing a safe and open space to support you in overcoming these challenges.

I specialise in helping people with long-standing trauma and anxiety, who feel stuck in patterns of intrusive thoughts, persistent worries, self-criticism, and regret. Often, there are multiple overlapping difficulties that have affected identity, confidence, relationships, or daily life. I work with people who benefit from longer-term therapy, consistent appointments, and an individualised treatment plan that may involve one therapeutic approach or a carefully integrated combination of therapies. So, if previous therapy didn't brought the change you hoped, if you've felt unheard and unseen, you may be exactly who I work best with.

Do you feel you would like your relationship to be in a better place? Perhaps you're going through a life transition, such as becoming parents, or you're raising a family and you would love to find that spark between you as a couple again. Have you noticed a distance between you, and that you miss the closeness and intimacy you once shared? Maybe your relationship has reached a crisis point such as an affair and you're looking to help your relationship heal. Or maybe communication has become an issue, leaving you feeling that your true needs are not being met and you would like to understand each other better.

I believe we all have the ability in us to make the changes that help us live our lives happier and fulfilled. I am honest, and I will ask questions to challenge you
If you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and distress about your eating behaviours?
If you feel dread over the next meal or anxiety around food?
Do you reach for food as a reward and then not be able to stop?
Sometimes, past events/trauma can cause a lot of anxiety around food and our behaviour towards food. This can lead to different types of eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder. What can we do to find peace with ourselves and with food.

It’s normal, at some point, to get stuck, or to struggle facing life's challenges. Sometimes we know exactly what’s wrong but at other times we might just have a nagging sense that something isn’t quite right. Therapy can help by supporting you to explore the roots of your distress, understand more clearly what’s keeping you stuck, and create new ways to think about yourself and your relationship roles and patterns. By uncovering the obstacles holding you back, you can learn to problem-solve, make better choices, practise healthier coping strategies, and turn your goals into realities to find a greater sense of peace and fulfilment.

Are you feeling alone, unheard or misunderstood? Maybe you feel anxious, angry, or hurt. Do you feel as though no one is there for you or listens to how you are feeling? Maybe you have tried to speak to friends and family but they either just don't get it or tell you what you should or shouldn't be doing and the conversation shifts to their problems.

To be able to express how you feel without the worry of being judged or fear of upsetting someone?
