About Chris
Chris Allen is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach and has three years of clinical practice. He runs his own practice and focuses on helping people talk through difficult feelings. Chris aims to make it easier for men to share their experiences instead of keeping everything inside.
He works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems and grief. Addictions, intimacy issues, eating concerns and trauma are also areas he addresses.
Background and approach
He also supports people dealing with family problems, parenting strains and work-related worries. Chris keeps sessions relaxed and warm. He listens closely and treats each person as an expert on their own life.
He offers empathy, genuineness and positive regard, and avoids directing clients toward a single answer. Sessions aim to help people face past pain, recover after a breakup or job loss, and make choices about the future. The focus is on helping clients find their own solutions and regain a feeling of control over life.
Chris welcomes conversations about abandonment, adoption and foster care, body image, codependency and communication difficulties. He also works on issues such as forgiveness, guilt and shame, infidelity and fatherhood concerns. Based in the United Kingdom, Chris provides a supportive space where people can take small steps toward change.
He encourages honesty, steady progress and practical reflection so clients can move forward on their own terms.

Approaches Chris lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
In an online setting the same basic approach applies. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide how to use session time, whether that means exploring feelings, working through a recent event or setting small goals. Finding the right approach is part of the work and the therapist will help choose methods that match the client's needs, goals and preferences.
Online sessions can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when visual connection helps the relationship. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging allow ongoing reflection between calls and can fit around busy days. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
