About Christopher

Christopher Reed is a counsellor with 16 years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low mood and sleep problems. He also supports those facing addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and LGBT matters.

Christopher aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Christopher shapes sessions around what each person needs. He listens first, then agrees goals and a plan together.

He uses everyday language and practical steps so people can try ideas between sessions.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and paced to what feels manageable. His background includes long-term membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, recorded as BACP. That professional link reflects his ongoing work in the United Kingdom.

He has developed experience across many presenting issues over his career. In the room he combines client-centred listening with tools drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches and emotionally focused methods. He also offers EMDR and hypnotherapy when those approaches fit a person’s goals.

The mix is chosen to suit each individual's concerns and preferences. People often come for help with grief, anger, self-esteem and major life changes. Christopher also supports those navigating issues such as codependency, sexual lifestyle concerns including BDSM and kink, and compulsive behaviours.

He focuses on helping people find clearer choices and steadier coping skills.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Christopher often blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural tools. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy offers clear steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can help with anxiety, panic and obsessive concerns.

He also uses EMDR to address the impact of traumatic memories. EMDR involves guided attention and structured processing to reduce the intensity of troubling memories and their effects. Together these approaches give different ways to work on symptoms, and the therapist discusses which methods fit each person’s goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and agree a plan that suits the person's needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Text or chat-based formats suit people who prefer written reflection or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and busy lives while using the approaches described above.
