About Christopher

Christopher Hurd focuses on people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to begin. He names what is most troubling and works with each person to build small, practical steps forward. Christopher respects that clients know themselves best and draws on their strengths to tackle problems together.

He listens for how past experiences affect day-to-day feelings and relationships. That helps him and the person he is working with to spot patterns that are keeping stress, anxiety or low mood in place.

Background and approach

He uses this understanding to shape clear goals and simple strategies that fit a person's life. Christopher has four years of professional experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns. These include addiction, trauma and abuse, relationship problems, depression and grief.

He also supports people with eating issues, ADHD, bipolar mood difficulties and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem. His work pays attention to attachment, abandonment and family of origin issues when they are part of a person's story. He also addresses control and communication problems, codependency and caregiver stress.

Where relevant he will consider how dissociation, mood dysregulation or substance use fit into the picture. Christopher is registered with NCPS, which appears after his name. He practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

He aims to help clients feel more accepted, understood and able to make steady changes that matter to them.

How Christopher’s approaches translate to online therapy

Christopher uses client-centred therapy to follow what matters most to the person in the room, helping them feel heard and guiding the conversation toward practical goals. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps by naming and working through intense emotions that show up in relationships and in how people relate to themselves. Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice repeating patterns that come from earlier relationships and to make sense of how those patterns affect current choices and moods.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try different ways of working until they settle on what helps most. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client decide together which techniques and sessions feel useful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video lets people use facial cues and tone; phone can be simpler when bandwidth is low; live chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options aim to make getting help more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily routines.
