About Christopher
Christopher Robertson is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He focuses on helping people understand what they are going through and find practical ways to move forward. Christopher aims to make the first difficult step feel less overwhelming and to walk alongside people as they work through challenges.
He helps with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief and trauma. He also supports people facing issues with self-esteem, addictions, relationship and intimacy difficulties, eating concerns, career stress and feelings of emptiness.
Background and approach
Additional areas he pays attention to include body image, commitment and communication problems, fatherhood issues and questions about life purpose. Christopher’s approach is grounded in client-centred therapy, so sessions focus on the person and their experience. He draws on existential ideas to help people examine their values and choices.
He also uses mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness and coping skills. In a typical session he listens first, then helps people name what matters to them and what gets in the way. He works at a steady pace and offers practical ways to manage strong emotions and unhelpful patterns.
Sessions are framed around the client’s goals and lived experience. He works in English and accepts international clients. Christopher is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to availability.

Sessions & fees
Approaches and practical online therapy options
Christopher uses client-centred therapy to prioritise the person’s experience and choices, offering a listening, non-judgemental space where the client’s concerns guide the work. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship or parenting questions.He also draws on existential therapy to help people reflect on values, life direction and meaning. That perspective can help when facing midlife questions, career shifts, feelings of emptiness or decisions about relationships.
Mindfulness therapy is used to build attention and calm. Simple exercises and awareness practices are taught so people have tools to manage stress, intrusive thoughts and strong emotions between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist discusses goals, what has or hasn’t helped before, and personal preferences. That collaborative conversation shapes which methods are used and how sessions progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing, want brief updates, or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and family life while keeping the focus on tangible steps and daily coping skills.
