Who I am
I am Chris, a qualified UKCP counsellor and psychotherapist based in East London, passionate about working with people from all walks of life. I offer an inclusive, affirming and collaborative space for individuals, couples and families of all genders, sexualities, backgrounds, ages, abilities, neurotypes and relationship structures.
As a supervisor-in-training, I am deepening my practice to support other practitioners in their own personal and professional journeys.
Alongside my practice with clients and supervisees, I also offer business coaching, supporting people in high-pressure, fast-paced environments, to identify unhelpful patterns and relationships and perform at their best.
My approach
I offer counselling, psychotherapy, mediation and business coaching to individuals, couples, families and groups. I am passionate about helping people through their relational problems to make meaningful change and find better connections with themselves and others.
I am an integrative therapist, specialising in Relational Transactional Analysis (TA), which means that I bring together all the different aspects of my training and experience to find the best way of working with each individual.
My roots in Relational TA combine Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy, which can be used to understand and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour, and the often unconscious psychological process behind them.
My practice is informed by years of working and living alongside the diverse communities of East London. I value cultural context as a key part of the therapeutic journey and believe in a collaborative approach - where, together, we can identify repetitive, often painful patterns, and how they might be understood, changed, or let go.
In-person and online
My practice room is located in Dalston, East London, a short walk from Dalston Junction station. 450 Kingsland Road, E8 4AE. I also work remotely, over Zoom.
