Christopher Sarfo
Person-centred counsellor blending listening and practical tools
About Christopher
Christopher Sarfo uses person-centred and evidence-informed methods to help people facing emotional strain. He combines listening with practical steps so conversations lead to change. Christopher is a BACP counsellor with seven years of practice in the United Kingdom.
He meets people who bring worries about stress, anxiety and low mood. He also supports those coping with grief, trauma, addictions and relationship or intimacy-related difficulties. Christopher helps with eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem and life transitions too.
Background and approach
In sessions he keeps the focus on the person in front of him. He listens first, then suggests small exercises or different ways of thinking that can reduce distress. Techniques may draw on cognitive behavioural ideas, attachment-focused thinking and mindfulness practices depending on what feels useful.
Christopher has worked in a range of settings and adapts his approach to each person's circumstances. He can help people look at patterns in relationships, address communication and commitment issues, and work through guilt, shame or isolation. There is also support for concerns such as ADHD, social anxiety and self-harm.
He works with English-speaking clients and accepts international enquiries. Practical arrangements such as session format and scheduling are discussed when someone begins the process. Christopher aims to offer clear, down-to-earth support for real-life problems.

Sessions & fees
Approach-focused online therapy that fits into daily life
Christopher blends person-centred listening with cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness practices to help people manage distress and change unhelpful patterns. Person-centred work emphasises a warm, accepting conversation where the person sets the pace and topics. Cognitive behavioural ideas provide straightforward exercises and ways of testing thoughts that can reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness teaches simple attention skills to calm the mind and improve sleep or focus.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Christopher will collaborate with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful given their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging lets people write through difficult moments over time. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments.
