Hi, I鈥檓 Chris 鈥� a Counselling Psychologist committed to supporting neurodivergent adults and couples to feel calmer, more confident, and more connected. If you鈥檙e feeling stuck, overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure where to turn next, you鈥檙e not alone. Many of the people I work with are navigating anxiety, low mood, grief, trauma, and relational difficulties, whilst also managing the unique challenges of living in a world built on neurotypical expectations. 

Whatever you鈥檙e facing, I know that you are much more than your challenges and I would like to help you honour your strengths, realize your full potential, and move forward.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and shaped around your needs. Drawing on Humanistic Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapies or EMDR, we鈥檒l explore what matters most to you 鈥� your values, hopes, and priorities 鈥� so that you can build clarity and confidence, and move through life with more ease and balance.

Taking the first step toward change can feel daunting, but if you鈥檙e here, it鈥檚 a sign that part of you is ready for something different. Let鈥檚 build on that together 鈥� I offer a free 15-minute chat where we can explore your needs and take the first step toward the changes you wish to see.

For the past 17 years, I鈥檝e supported many clients to make meaningful and sustainable life changes. My practice is rooted in relational, evidence-informed and neuro-affirming practices and informed by Humanistic Therapy, CBT and EMDR.

I can offer you a space where you feel respected, understood, and supported to process whatever is standing in your way. At a pace that is safe, supportive and grounded.

My practice is:

鈥� Pluralistic and personalised

鈥� Empowering and collaborative.

鈥� Flexible and inclusive.

鈥� Trauma-informed and culturally aware.

My previous work experience includes the following roles:

鈥� Head of Counselling - University of Cambridge

鈥� Head of Student & Staff Counselling - University of East Anglia

鈥� Psychosocial Counsellor -Specialist Palliative Care

鈥� Counsellor - Community Addiction Services

鈥� Lecturer in Counselling

What to Expect in your first session

Your first session provides a starting point for us to get to know each other. We will explore the challenges that have brought you to therapy, and your goals and aims. We will focus on your strengths, interests, preferences. So that we can co-create a therapeutic space where you feel heard, understood, and valued.

Individual Therapy

In our work together, we can explore the experiences, relationships, and environments that have been impacting your well-being, distress, and functioning. If you have been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low, burnt out, or disconnected, we can take time to gently unpack what鈥檚 happening for you. Equally, we can focus on what is working well for you, and explore ways in which you can build on these experiences to create more balance, calm and connection.

Couples Therapy

I offer a supportive therapeutic relationship where both partners are heard, validated, and respected. Whether you are in a neurodivergent鈥搉eurotypical partnership, or a relationship where both partners are neurodivergent. I understand how unique challenges can arise from differences in communication preferences and sensory needs.

Sessions are most frequently held together as a couple but can also allow for each individual partner separately if and when required. From a foundation of trust, curiosity, and respect, we can jointly nurture a therapeutic space that provides clarity, empathy, understanding, and practical steps to help you move beyond your current challenges.

Practicalities in session

You are welcome to bring items of comfort, move in ways that support you, or adjust your space to suit your individual needs, so that you feel safe, comfortable, and able to achieve the most from your therapeutic process. 

I currently have space available for one-to-one and group supervision.

拢80 per hour for one-to-one supervision

拢90 per hour for group supervision

Concessionary rates are available for counsellors, therapists, and counselling psychologists in training.

My working hours are:

Monday - Friday: 9:00 am 鈥� 6:30 pm & Tuesday & Thursday Evenings until 8:00 pm

I鈥檓 an HCPC Registered Counselling Psychologist and Specialist Accredited 麻豆原创 Supervisor, and I鈥檝e been offering clinical supervision for the past 13 years. What matters most to me is creating a space where you feel supported, encouraged and able to bring your whole self to the work.

Supervision with me is relaxed, energising and genuinely collaborative. My aim is to help you feel clearer, more confident and more connected to the kind of practitioner you want to be.

What Supervision With Me Feels Like

This is a space where you can:

鈥� Talk openly about your work鈥攚ithout judgement

鈥� Explore challenges and feel grounded, not overwhelmed

鈥� Celebrate what鈥檚 going well (we often forget to do this!)

鈥� Strengthen your resilience and self-care

鈥� Grow your identity, voice and confidence as an ethical practitioner

Whether you're in training, newly qualified or have years of experience, you鈥檙e welcome exactly as you are. You don鈥檛 have to 鈥済et it right鈥� here. Supervision is a place to think, feel, untangle, imagine and grow.

How We Can Work Together

Live (synchronous) supervision:

鈥� Video

鈥� Audio-only

鈥� Instant messaging via MS Teams

鈥� Available for individuals or groups

Asynchronous:

鈥� One-to-one email supervision

These options give you the flexibility to choose what best fits your needs, energy and working style.

My Approach

I鈥檓 warm, steady and human in the way I supervise. I鈥檒l champion your growth, respect your individuality and stay alongside you as you find your way through the challenges, questions and victories of practice.

If you鈥檙e looking for supervision that feels encouraging, safe and genuinely useful, I鈥檇 love to meet you.

Free 15-Minute Chat

If you want to see whether we鈥檙e a good fit, feel free to get in touch for a free 15-minute conversation.

I offer a supportive, restorative and genuinely collaborative supervision space鈥攕omething we鈥檒l shape together so it really works for you.

My practice is grounded in the 麻豆原创 Ethical Framework, but the way we work will always be tailored to you鈥攜our stage of development, your therapeutic style, and the way you prefer to work online.

Each session (or group) is guided by what you need that day. You set the focus, and we explore what will be most helpful for you right now.

Because we鈥檙e working online, I also pay close attention to anything that could get lost in translation鈥攎isunderstandings, transference, countertransference, projection or fantasy. If these show up, we鈥檒l navigate them gently and openly, using them as opportunities for insight, reflection and growth rather than obstacles.

To keep things safe, clear and grounded, I make sure we have:

鈥� Clear and transparent contracting

鈥� A shared understanding of our responsibilities

鈥� A simple 鈥渘etiquette鈥� agreement for working online

鈥� Regular reviews of how supervision feels for you

鈥� Careful attention to all ethical, moral and legal considerations

My aim is to create a space where you can think freely, feel supported, and continue growing as the practitioner you want to be.

After our initial 15-minute chat, if you鈥檇 like to go ahead, I鈥檒l send over my contract so you can look through the terms in your own time and bring any questions to our first session.

I鈥檒l also send a short supervisee intake form (via MS Forms). It gathers the essentials and gives you space to share what you鈥檙e hoping for from supervision before we get started.

In our first session, we鈥檒l go over the contract, general housekeeping and the practical aspects of working online. The aim here is simply to make sure everything feels clear, safe and supportive, so that we can build our relationship on trust, respect and curiosity.

For group supervision, we鈥檒l take a little time together to shape a welcoming, inclusive space where everyone feels heard, understood and valued.
