About Christopher

Christopher Hurd is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma. He speaks in straightforward terms and treats each person as the expert on their own life. His aim is to help people take practical steps toward feeling steadier and more connected to themselves.

Christopher works from the view that past experiences shape how people respond now. He listens for patterns in relationships, emotions and behaviour.

Background and approach

Together with a client he looks at what is getting in the way and what strengths can be used to move forward. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person’s needs. He uses approaches that help people name feelings, understand attachment patterns, and look at deeper emotional themes.

He also uses hypnotherapy when appropriate to support change in behaviour and thought patterns. Christopher has four years of professional experience and holds NCPS as a credential. He practices in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, including work with people based outside the UK.

Therapy can cover a wide range of concerns such as grief, intimacy issues, eating concerns, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem and career worries. He also works with people facing complex issues like dissociation, substance dependence, family of origin problems and identity around attachment and abandonment. He encourages a gentle pace for change and helps people find practical coping steps.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and he aims to provide steady support while clients try out new ways of relating and managing challenges.

Ways of working Christopher names

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

How his approaches work online and in sessions

Christopher uses client-centred therapy to focus on what matters most to the person. This approach involves listening closely and following the client’s pace so they can explore feelings and make choices that feel right to them.

He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which highlights patterns in how people connect and respond in relationships. EFT helps people recognise and shift unhelpful interaction cycles and strengthens emotional awareness in close relationships.

Hypnotherapy is sometimes used alongside talking therapies to support behaviour change and reduce anxiety symptoms. It can be helpful for habits, strong emotional reactions and managing stress responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods best match a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions can fit into a short break, and live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to maintain regular contact and fit therapy into a busy life.
