About Christopher

Christopher Poole is a counsellor who focuses on practical, evidence-based work to help people manage stress, anxiety and the effects of trauma and abuse. He offers a calm, respectful approach and aims to build a trusting connection so clients feel able to talk about difficult things. Christopher holds a BACP credential and has four years of professional experience in the UK.

He helps people who are coping with grief, low self-esteem, depression and anger by listening and shaping conversations to each person’s needs.

Background and approach

Christopher also supports those facing relationship strain, parenting pressures and life changes that leave them unsure what to do next. He pays attention to how everyday situations, thoughts and behaviours affect mood and motivation. Sessions are adaptable to practical needs.

Christopher uses techniques from evidence-based therapeutic approaches to work on unhelpful patterns, problem-solving and emotion regulation. He tailors the pace and focus so people can make steady, manageable changes. He is plain-speaking and down-to-earth in sessions, aiming to reduce overwhelm and clarify next steps.

Christopher encourages realistic goals and small experiments clients can try between meetings to build confidence and momentum. People choosing to work with him usually want a compassionate yet direct counsellor who listens and then helps map out a clear way forward. Christopher offers support for a wide range of concerns, including career stress, fatherhood issues, money worries and feelings of isolation.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Christopher lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Practical approaches and online therapy

Christopher draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on how thoughts and behaviours affect feelings. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new ways of responding; this can ease anxiety and low mood by changing everyday reactions. Another approach focuses on emotion regulation and coping skills, teaching practical tools to manage strong feelings and reduce reactivity in stressful moments.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Christopher will discuss options with you, consider your goals and preferences, and agree a plan together. He adapts methods to suit your pace so changes feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for a full conversation that mirrors face-to-face contact. Phone sessions suit those with quieter surroundings or limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins and written reflections that can fit around work or parenting commitments.
