Chris Allen is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical practice. He has spent the last year running his own practice and supports people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship problems.
He has a particular interest in encouraging men to talk about their feelings instead of holding them in until they overwhelm daily life. Chris works in a relaxed, warm and supportive way.
Background and approach
He uses a person-centred approach that puts the client’s experience at the centre of sessions. Sessions are guided by empathy, genuineness and positive regard so people can reach their own conclusions about what helps them move forward. Topics he commonly addresses include intimacy-related issues, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties and self-esteem concerns.
He also helps with family-related struggles, parenting stress, fatherhood issues and problems around communication and commitment. Additional focus areas include abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, body image, codependency, divorce and separation, domestic violence, guilt and shame, infidelity and forgiveness. Chris aims to help people process past pain and make practical steps towards the future they want.
Sessions are tailored to each person’s background and goals. He aims to create a space where people feel listened to and supported while they work through difficult emotions and life changes.
How Chris’s Person-centred Approach Works Online
Chris practises person-centred therapy, which focuses on the client’s own perspective and experience. The counsellor offers empathy, genuineness and positive regard so people can explore feelings and arrive at their own solutions. This approach suits concerns such as anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties and grief.Working together to find the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt the style so it fits the person’s needs. That collaborative planning helps ensure sessions stay relevant and practical as things change.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for a near face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quicker check-in and messaging allows reflection between sessions. These options help people fit counselling around work, family and daily life while still keeping continuity of care.
