About Chris
Chris Wilson is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, life transitions and issues like ADHD and addiction. Sessions focus on practical ways to cope and to build clearer choices for moving forward.
Chris trained with an integrative-relational approach and draws on several therapy methods to guide conversations. He has worked in a prison setting supporting people with addiction, anger and trauma. That background means he is used to direct, problem-focused work alongside deeper relational themes.
In private practice he meets people facing a wide range of life challenges. That has included helping performers and athletes through injury, retirement and other transitions. He also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy-related concerns, career questions and difficulties linked to family, adoption or attachment issues.
Therapy sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational. Chris uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment ideas and client-centred techniques to help people notice what matters, make different choices and improve relationships. He also brings in psychodynamic and existential perspectives when exploring deeper patterns.
People looking for help with anger, substance use, body image, fertility worries, or the strain of major life changes will find his experience relevant. He works with LGBT concerns and has supported people through domestic violence and divorce-related distress. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and how online work can fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without being led by them. It helps people organise actions around what matters to them, which can suit stress, anxiety and career or relationship decisions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people connect now. It is useful for intimacy problems, attachment issues and struggles that repeat across relationships.
Client-Centred Therapy gives the person space to lead sessions while the counsellor listens and reflects. This approach helps people build clarity, confidence and self-understanding over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chris will help you choose methods that match your goals, needs and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can shift as sessions progress.
