About Chris
Chris Wilson is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, life transitions, addiction and grief. He also supports clients dealing with issues linked to attachment, abandonment and intimacy-related concerns.
Chris describes an integrative-relational approach, drawing on several ways of working to suit each person. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now, how past experiences show up, and practical steps a person can try between meetings. He aims to be straightforward and respectful in the way he talks about difficult topics such as addiction, domestic violence and trauma.
Before private practice he worked in a prison setting where he helped people in custody address addiction, anger and trauma. That work included supporting people through recovery and managing transitions back into the community. He has also worked with athletes and performers during injury, retirement and other career changes.
In private work he meets people from many walks of life for face-to-face sessions in the community. He helps people talk through career concerns, fertility and fatherhood issues, eating and body image problems, and the particular strains that can come with adoption or foster care histories. He also supports people working through forgiveness and commitment issues.
Chris uses a mix of approaches, including psychodynamic, attachment-based and acceptance and commitment ideas, to shape the focus of sessions. To start, he asks for a short account of what brings someone in, and then they agree practical steps and goals together.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they fit
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose small, value-led steps to try. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and for managing painful feelings like guilt.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help when trust, intimacy or abandonment issues affect how someone relates to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods suit the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative choice guides what happens in sessions rather than a fixed programme.
The practical benefits of working online should be confirmed with the therapist because the original profile did not list formats. Ask which session types are offered before booking. Many people choose remote sessions to fit meetings around work, caregiving or travel, to have shorter check-ins, or to avoid commuting. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to continue regular contact and to make scheduling easier without promising any particular outcome.
