About Chris

Chris Allen is a BACP-registered counsellor with three years of clinical experience. He has run his own practice for the past year and focuses on helping people talk through difficult feelings. He often encourages men to share their experiences rather than bottling emotions up until they become overwhelming.

His approach is relaxed, warm and supportive. He works in a person-centred way, meeting each person as an individual and treating their concerns as unique.

Background and approach

Sessions are built around empathy, genuineness and respect so people can find their own answers. Chris helps people face a wide range of issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. He also supports those coping with relationship problems, intimacy issues, addictions and eating concerns.

Additional focuses include body image, abandonment, codependency and forgiveness. Practical matters such as job loss, separation and fatherhood issues are also addressed in session. He aims to help people process past pain and make changes that suit the life they want to build.

The pace and direction are shaped by the client. Sessions are conversational and steady. Chris listens for what matters to each person and gently guides them towards greater understanding.

He views clients as experts on their own lives and works alongside them to find clearer ways forward.

Ways of working Chris names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client-centred support delivered online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and treating the person as the expert in their life. The counsellor offers empathy, genuineness and acceptance so people can explore feelings and make decisions that suit them. This approach can help with depression, anxiety, relationship struggles and trauma.

Chris uses a warm, accepting style that aims to help people speak more openly about difficult experiences. Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. He will work together with each person to choose ways of working that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a conversational, face-to-face feel. Phone sessions suit quieter bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are good for short check-ins, ongoing support between calls or if someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life while keeping the focus on steady, collaborative work.
