About Christopher
Christopher Atkinson is a UK counsellor with the NCPS credential and 14 years of professional experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, addiction and relationship concerns. He also supports those facing parenting strain, intimacy issues, self-esteem struggles, mood disorders and life changes.
He starts from the idea that the client is the expert in their own story. Sessions focus on clear conversation about what is happening now, and what the client wants to change. Christopher uses a client-centred way of working, which means he listens closely and follows the client’s lead while offering practical reflections.
In sessions he helps people name patterns that feed their anger and frustration. He talks through strategies for calmer responses, managing tension at work, and reducing resentment in close relationships. He also works with grief, trauma responses, and the stress that comes from caregiving or chronic illness.
Over the years he has supported people dealing with abandonment issues, attachment difficulties, neurodivergent traits such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and complex family arrangements like blended families and adoption or foster care concerns. Christopher also addresses concerns linked to body image, chronic pain, and cancer related distress.
He offers work for English-speaking clients in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his client-centred approach works online
Christopher uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. The counsellor reflects what the client says, helps clarify feelings, and supports changes that the client wants to make. This approach is useful for anger, relationship strain, grief and anxiety because it begins with the person’s own experience.The right approach is worked out together. He will discuss what techniques or focuses might help and adapt the work to the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative planning continues as therapy progresses so sessions stay relevant to everyday problems like workplace frustration or mounting resentment in close relationships.
The original biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm available online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy weeks, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people continue talking with a therapist when they are in a different region from the counsellor.
