About Chris

Chris Wilson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He works with people on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self‑esteem and coping with life changes. He also supports clients facing addiction, trauma and grief, and addresses concerns around intimacy, anger and career matters.

He draws on several approaches to shape sessions around each person’s needs. That means practical conversations, simple exercises and time to reflect on patterns that cause pain.

Background and approach

The work is collaborative - the client and therapist decide what feels most useful. Chris has four years of professional experience. He has worked in custody settings supporting people through addiction, anger and trauma.

He has also worked with athletes and performers on injury, retirement and other transitions. Alongside community practice, he runs a personal caseload where people bring a wide range of life challenges. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on real problems rather than jargon.

Chris describes his style as respectful, sensitive and compassionate. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and international clients can be accommodated.

Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match your values. It is useful for stress, anxiety and motivation problems because it emphasises practical moves rather than trying to stop thoughts. Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and closeness with others. It can help with intimacy problems, attachment issues and some relationship difficulties.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to what matters to you and try different ways of working to find what fits. Many people combine elements from different approaches to match their goals and preferences, and this will be decided together over the first few sessions.

Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are good for longer conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit short check‑ins, ongoing reflections between sessions or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and day to day life while keeping continuity of care.
