About Christopher
Christopher Atkinson is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress and anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, and problems with anger and addictions. Christopher believes clients know their own story and brings a respectful, person-centred stance to each conversation.
He aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what matters to them. Sessions focus on listening, exploring strengths, and helping people build practical steps forward.
Background and approach
The work is paced to suit the person rather than following a fixed template. Christopher has supported people through major life changes and challenges such as parenting strain, intimacy issues, self-esteem struggles, and coping with chronic illness. He also offers help around ADHD-related difficulties, compassion fatigue, and relationship conflict.
His wider interests include adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, and ageing issues. His approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which prioritises the client’s perspective and personal resources. In practice this means reflective listening, gentle questioning, and making space for the things a person brings into the room.
Christopher aims to empower people to choose the steps that feel right for them. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people inside and outside the United Kingdom. He works with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs and schedules.

Approaches Christopher 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
The approach is gentle and non-directive so the person leads the pace and topics. This style helps when someone needs to feel heard and make personal choices about change rather than follow a rigid plan.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christopher will work collaboratively to identify what feels most helpful based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That might mean keeping to a client-led style or adding short practical steps together as needed.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and build connection, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text-based messaging is useful for ongoing contact and reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring commitments and varied schedules.
