About Chris
Chris Allen is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical practice and a year running his own business. He helps people with depression, anxiety, relationships, loss and trauma, and has a particular interest in encouraging men to talk about their feelings rather than bottling them up. Chris writes in a straightforward way and focuses on practical conversation rather than jargon.
Chris uses a person-centred approach in sessions. He aims to listen without judgement and meet what each person brings to the room. Sessions are conversational and designed to let clients arrive at their own conclusions about next steps. He describes his manner as relaxed and supportive, with an emphasis on genuineness and positive regard.
People come to Chris for a range of concerns including stress, grief, intimacy-related issues, addiction, self-esteem and anger. He also works with topics such as body image, communication problems, commitment issues and coping with life changes. He is open to discussing past hurts like abandonment, infidelity or family problems and how those experiences affect day-to-day life now.
In practical terms Chris aims to help clients reduce the hold of painful memories, move on after relationship or work losses, and make clearer choices about the future. He frames clients as the experts on their own lives and supports them to find their own answers. Sessions tend to focus on straightforward talk and steady reflection on patterns and feelings.
Chris works in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the service's online process.
How Client-Centred Therapy translates to online sessions
The person-centred approach focuses on listening, genuine responses and the client’s own perspective. In practice this means the counsellor prioritises what you bring to each session, reflecting feelings and helping you check your own thoughts. It is useful for issues like depression, relationship strain, grief and anger where being heard helps reduce reactivity.Chris frames therapy as a collaborative process. He will work with you to identify which ways of working feel most helpful. If something needs adjusting - pace, topic or focus - he will discuss those changes and agree a plan that fits your goals and preferences.
Confirm the current session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a workday, remove travel time and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. They also let people join from different locations, which can help when living or working across time zones. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often adapt their approach to make online talks practical and effective for everyday problems.
