About Christopher

Christopher Robertson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who has five years of professional experience. He supports people who are facing difficult life moments and wants to help them move from feeling stuck to finding practical ways forward. Christopher speaks English and works with adults on a wide range of concerns, including eating and body image issues, stress, anxiety and grief.

He focuses on understanding the root of a problem rather than only treating the surface. Sessions often start by listening to a person's story and identifying patterns that make life harder. Christopher uses simple, relatable language to help people recognise choices and small steps they can take between meetings.

His approach draws on client-centred work, which means the person in the room sets the pace and the agenda. He also uses existential ideas to look at meaning, values and how people want to live. Mindfulness practice is offered as a way to notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them.

Christopher aims to create a calm, steady space where people can talk through painful experiences like trauma, grief or relationship struggles. He also helps with challenges such as addiction, career change, isolation and issues around intimacy or commitment. Parents and fathers who are unsure of their next steps can find straightforward, practical guidance.

When someone decides to begin, Christopher works collaboratively to set goals and check progress. He encourages small, achievable changes and keeps the focus on what matters most to each person. The emphasis is on clear steps and genuine conversation rather than technical jargon.

How Christopher uses his approaches for online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to work out their own solutions. Existential Therapy looks at values, life direction and meaning, which can be useful for issues like career change, midlife questions and feelings of emptiness. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple noticing skills to reduce reactivity and to cope with anxiety, grief or urges linked to eating and addictions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then agree a plan together. This is a collaborative process and can change as sessions continue so the approach stays relevant to what the person wants to achieve.

Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when that helps, and reduce travel time. It can also make practising mindfulness between sessions simpler, since exercises can be done at home or during breaks. Registered or accredited professionals can support progress remotely while helping clients build routines that suit their daily lives.
