About Christopher
Christopher Robertson is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He works with adults on issues such as grief, trauma, anxiety, depression and problems with self-esteem. He also supports people facing relationship strain, career pressure, addiction and other life changes.
Christopher aims to help people identify the root of the difficulty they are facing. He uses straightforward conversation to make sense of painful events and repeated patterns. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what practical steps a person can try between meetings.
His approach draws on client-centred listening, helping people feel heard and understood while they talk through difficult topics. He also uses existential ideas to look at meaning, choice and what matters to the person. Mindfulness-based practices are offered to help manage distressing thoughts and steady attention in stressful moments.
Christopher has experience supporting people with trauma and grief and with issues related to identity and sexual orientation. He is used to working with concerns around body image, intimacy, commitment and communication problems. He also supports people dealing with anger, isolation and questions about life purpose.
People usually begin by describing what feels most urgent. Christopher then helps set simple priorities for the work together. Sessions aim to be practical and direct, so people can try changes between meetings and come back to review what worked.
How his approaches work in online sessions
Christopher uses client-centred work and mindfulness in most online conversations. Client-centred therapy means listening closely to the person and following what they say so they can make sense of issues at their own pace. It often helps with anxiety, low mood and relationship worries. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention exercises and grounding techniques to reduce overwhelming thoughts and support day-to-day coping.He also draws on existential ideas to look at questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. That approach can suit people feeling empty, stuck or unsure about next steps in life. Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work and is decided together. The therapist and client discuss goals and try things out to see what fits best.
