About Chris

Chris Allen works on depression, anxiety, relationships, loss, trauma and low mood using a person-centred approach. He is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has three years of clinical practice including running his own business for the past year.

Chris is based in the United Kingdom and focuses on encouraging people, particularly men, to talk about their experiences and feelings. He prioritises straightforward conversation and steady support rather than technical jargon. Sessions aim to help people express difficult emotions and think through what matters to them.

His way of working is relaxed and supportive. He listens without judgement and responds with genuineness and positive regard. Clients are encouraged to find their own answers while being guided through difficult material.

Common issues he helps people with include stress, grief, intimacy-related concerns, addictions, and self-esteem. He also works with a broad range of relationship difficulties such as communication problems, commitment issues, infidelity, divorce and separation, and fatherhood issues.

Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, abandonment, body image, codependency, domestic violence, guilt and shame, and coping with life changes. Chris aims to help people move past painful experiences and make decisions about their lives without being weighed down by the past.

Client-centred work and remote counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and accepting a person without judgement. The counsellor reflects what is said, offers genuine responses and creates space for the client to consider their own solutions. This approach suits issues such as low mood, relationship difficulties and coping with loss.

Person-centred work is about supporting the client to explore feelings and choices at their own pace. The counsellor and client will decide together which ways of working suit the person's goals and preferences. This means the approach can be adjusted if different techniques or focuses seem more helpful as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions more easily around work or family commitments and avoiding travel time. Check the current session options before booking to confirm how Chris runs online appointments. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use remote sessions to offer continuity of care and to make therapy more convenient for everyday life.
