About Christopher

Christopher Atkinson works on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger and related issues using a client-centred approach. He is registered with NCPS and has 14 years of professional experience in the field.

He works with people who are facing overwhelming emotions or major life changes. Sessions focus on the person’s own experience and perspective. Christopher listens, reflects and helps people clarify what matters to them. He treats each conversation as practical and grounded, with an emphasis on what someone notices and wants to change.

Clients come to him for help with relationships, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and coping after loss. He also supports people managing addiction, bipolar mood challenges, depression, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Additional areas he addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care matters, ageing and caregiver stress, and long-term health concerns such as chronic pain or illness.

In session he uses client-centred therapy, which keeps the person’s own goals central. That means Christopher follows the pace people set and works from their priorities. Conversations aim to build clearer choices and manageable next steps rather than offering one-size-fits-all advice.

People can expect straightforward, respectful conversations that focus on practical ways to move forward.

How Christopher uses client-centred work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own view and priorities. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows the pace the person sets. This approach can help with issues like anxiety, grief, relationship strain and decisions about next steps.

That same person-focused style can be used alongside brief practical discussions about coping or problem-solving. The counsellor aims to help people clarify what they want to change and to identify small, manageable steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will discuss what feels most useful and adjust the way he works to fit a client’s aims and preferences. This is a collaborative process and you decide the pace and focus.

The biography does not specify particular session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family or other commitments, and they can reduce travel time or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to keep therapy practical and accessible.
