About Christopher
Christopher Robertson is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and a broad range of life challenges. Christopher also supports people concerned about self-esteem, parenting pressures, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and problems such as addiction and career strain.
He focuses on helping people uncover what lies at the root of their difficulty. Sessions are conversational and aim to make sense of current struggles. Christopher uses listening and reflective questioning to help people identify patterns that keep them stuck and options for change.
Christopher draws on client-centred and existential approaches alongside mindfulness practices. That mix is used to explore how values, choices and present experience shape daily life. Mindfulness tools are offered to help with stress and dysregulated emotions when that is useful.
People come to him for a wide range of concerns, including bereavement, body-image issues, parenting strain, fatherhood questions, separation and commitment problems. He also works with issues like guilt, shame, isolation and midlife shifts and supports people from LGBT backgrounds and veterans where relevant.
Sessions are aimed at helping a person make clearer decisions and find practical ways to cope. Booking begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session, so practical next steps are clear from the start.
How sessions work
Working online with client-centred and mindfulness approaches
Christopher uses client-centred therapy to prioritise the person sitting in front of him. That means listening closely to what matters to the client, reflecting it back, and helping them make sense of their own experience. This approach is helpful for people needing support with self-esteem, grief or relationship strain.He also uses mindfulness practices to help people manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity. Simple exercises focus attention on present-moment experience and can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with urges. Existential questioning is used to look at values and meaning when people face major life changes or feelings of emptiness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will talk with each person about what they want to achieve and suggest ways of working. That choice is made together and can change as goals become clearer.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue therapy across borders, which is useful for international clients.
