Christopher Hurd is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and addiction. He works with clients who are struggling with relationships, trauma and grief. Christopher believes people already have strengths that can help them move forward, and he aims to support them as they take difficult first steps.

He adopts a client-centred way of working, which means conversations focus on what matters to the person sitting in front of him.

Background and approach

He listens for patterns and feelings that come from past experiences and uses that understanding to guide sessions. This practical focus helps people see what to try between meetings. Christopher also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to help people address connection and attachment concerns.

He uses these ideas to work on intimacy-related worries, communication problems and issues stemming from abandonment or caregiver stress. Sessions tend to focus on emotions in the moment and how they shape interactions. Hypnotherapy and psychodynamic approaches are part of his toolbox when deeper patterns need attention.

Hypnotherapy can help with habits and eating or addiction-related behaviours, while psychodynamic work looks at early life influences that keep repeating. He adapts these methods to the pace each person prefers. Christopher holds NCPS as a credential and has four years of professional experience.

He offers help in English and is based in the United Kingdom. International clients can be seen via online formats, and sessions are organised around the persons needs and preferences.

Approaches you can use in online therapy

Christopher uses client-centred work to keep sessions focused on what the person wants to change. This approach means the counsellor listens and follows the client's priorities, helping them identify small practical steps to try between sessions.

He also draws on emotionally-focused therapy to help people understand and shift patterns in close relationships. EFT-style work looks at how feelings drive responses in key interactions and can be useful for intimacy-related issues, attachment worries and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process rather than a fixed decision up front. Christopher works collaboratively to decide which methods match a person's goals, needs and comfort level. He will check in and adjust the plan as the work unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls are good when visual contact matters, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, and messaging or live chat can offer brief check-ins or flexible pacing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and to keep continuity when travel or schedules change.
