About Christopher

Christopher Sarfo is a BACP counsellor with seven years' experience working in multiple settings. He offers a calm, person-focused approach that aims to make talking about difficult topics easier. Christopher meets people where they are and adapts his way of working to each situation.

He commonly helps with stress and anxiety, depression, grief and trauma, and relationship and intimacy concerns. Eating and food-related issues, addictions and sleep problems are also areas he addresses. Christopher supports people facing career strain, life changes and parenting pressures.

His approach draws on Attachment-Based ideas and Client-Centred work, alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when useful. He uses mindfulness skills and parts work to help people understand feelings and patterns. Sessions focus on practical steps alongside exploring what matters most to the individual.

Christopher has worked with adults, children and couples in a range of services and community settings. He pays attention to cultural background and the wider context that affects a person’s choices and relationships. He aims to help people build clearer communication and stronger emotional connection.

He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Christopher accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to his availability.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. Online sessions can help people notice connection styles and practise different ways of relating in everyday life. Client-Centred therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship through acceptance and empathy, which can be achieved through thoughtful remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, often using practical exercises and homework that suit online delivery.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christopher will work with the person to identify goals, try methods that fit their style, and adjust as therapy progresses. The focus is on what helps most in day-to-day life rather than fitting someone into a single technique.

If you want online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports using worksheets, mindfulness practice and communication exercises between sessions to build new habits.
