About Chris
Chris Wilson is a counsellor with a BACP credential and four years of experience practising in the United Kingdom. He works with people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationships, low self-esteem, addiction and anger. He also helps with life changes, grief, career concerns and intimacy-related issues.
Chris uses an integrative-relational approach, drawing on several methods to shape sessions around what a person needs. Sessions are conversational and practical. He listens to how anger and frustration show up in daily life and looks at patterns that keep them going.
He has worked in a prison setting, supporting people in custody with addiction, anger and trauma. That experience informs his approach to strong emotions and moments of crisis. He has also supported professional athletes and performers with injury, retirement and other transitions.
In private practice he sees people from the local community for face-to-face work and for other session formats. His work pays attention to attachment history and how early relationships affect current reactions. He combines that with clearer goal-focused work so people learn different ways of responding to triggers.
Chris aims to help people notice what leads to sudden anger, practise alternative responses, and rebuild connections that have been strained. Practical skills, honest conversation and slower exploration of past patterns are woven together. He asks people to try things between sessions and brings those experiences back to therapy for review.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, and choosing actions that match personal values. This can help with anger that feels automatic or overwhelming. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape reactions now. It helps when anger links to fears of abandonment, control or closeness. Client-Centred Therapy centres on clear, non-judgemental listening and gives space to make sense of feelings at your own pace.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chris will discuss different methods with the client and decide together what to try first based on current needs and goals. He treats the choice as collaborative and open to change as therapy progresses.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible for people abroad to work with registered or accredited professionals in the UK. Practicalities such as camera use, session length and scheduling are agreed at the first appointment so sessions fit everyday life.
