About Christopher

Christopher Robertson works with stress, anxiety, trauma and grief using a person-centred way of working and mindfulness practices. He is a BACP member with five years' professional experience in the United Kingdom.

He focuses on helping people cope with loss, understand recurring problems, and manage strong emotions. Sessions aim to identify core issues that keep difficulties repeating and to develop practical ways to respond differently. Christopher uses client-centred listening so the person leads the pace and focus of work.

He also draws on existential ideas about meaning and choice to help people who feel stuck or empty. Those themes are common when people face life changes, career concerns, midlife questions or a crisis of purpose. Mindfulness practice is used to build attention and calm when stress or anxiety are dominant.

Christopher has worked with a wide range of concerns, including relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, body image, parenting strains and problems linked to military service. He also supports people coping with guilt, shame, infidelity and separation.

Sessions are conducted in English and Christopher accepts international clients. Fees vary with location and sessions are provided via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.

How his therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective. The counsellor listens reflectively and helps the person find their own solutions; this is useful for uncovering what matters most and for building confidence to make changes.

Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. It suits people facing major life changes, midlife concerns, career crossroads or feelings of emptiness and helps them consider values and direction.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and ground attention. It can help with anxiety, rumination and intense emotions by developing steadier awareness.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Christopher will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then decide together which methods to try and when to adjust them.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also makes it possible to work with a counsellor from another country when that suits your circumstances.
