About Chris
Chris Callahan-Brown helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties. He also supports those facing grief, addiction concerns, self-esteem problems and challenges around intimacy and parenting. Chris works with people dealing with life changes, ADHD and a wide range of concerns that affect day-to-day living.
He uses a calm, straightforward approach in sessions. Conversations are led by the person coming for help and Chris follows their pace.
Background and approach
He aims to create an open space where people can say what they think and feel without fear of judgement. That makes it easier to spot small, practical changes that can make a difference. Chris draws on client-centred methods to keep the focus on each person’s needs.
He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to look at unhelpful thinking and solution-focused ideas to set concrete goals. These methods are explained in plain language and adapted to what feels useful to the individual. Chris has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration.
He accepts English-language work with international clients and offers a variety of online session formats to suit different schedules. People who choose to work with him begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then booking sessions that fit their timetable. He aims to be practical, respectful and steady while helping clients move towards clearer thinking and healthier routines.

Sessions & fees
Approaches you can use online with a counsellor
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and aims to make space for honest talk. It helps when someone needs understanding, emotional support or to make sense of difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and helps people try small experiments to test and change unhelpful habits. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy is brief and goal-oriented, helping people focus on what they want to be different and taking practical steps towards that future.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working to see what fits. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face without travel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins and text messaging works well for people who prefer writing. These formats make it simpler to fit sessions around work, family or study and can help sustain regular contact over weeks or months.
