Christopher Robertson is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years of practical experience. He uses straightforward conversation to help people who are stuck or overwhelmed. Christopher listens carefully and helps people name what they are feeling and what they want to change.

He focuses on stress, anxiety, grief and trauma, and on longer standing issues like low self-esteem and addiction. He also offers support around relationship and intimacy-related concerns, career pressure, parenting strains and questions of life purpose.

Background and approach

Christopher pays attention to how people understand themselves and their choices, including challenges linked to body image, guilt, forgiveness and separation. Christopher draws on client-centred approaches to make sessions collaborative and respectful. He also brings ideas from existential work to look at meaning and values, alongside mindfulness to help with managing distress in the moment.

These methods are used to help people get clearer rather than promise quick fixes. Sessions are conversational and practical. Christopher helps people identify small, doable steps they can try between meetings.

He encourages honest reflection and slow rebuilding of confidence after difficult experiences. People come to him for many reasons - trauma, bereavement, work stress, loneliness, or questions about identity and direction. Christopher accepts international clients and runs sessions in English by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to availability.

Working with client-centred, existential and mindful approaches online

Christopher uses client-centred therapy to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace and priorities. This approach is helpful for people who need steady listening and support to clarify what matters most to them.

He also draws on existential ideas that look at meaning, choice and values. These conversations help when clients face big life questions, midlife shifts, decisions about relationships or struggles with purpose and direction.

Mindfulness practice features in sessions to build simple skills for managing overwhelming feelings in the moment. Small mindfulness exercises can be used between meetings to reduce stress and increase focus.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Christopher treats the choice of method as a collaboration and will adjust techniques to fit a person’s goals and preferences. He talks through options and helps decide what to try first, then revisits what is and isn’t helping.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practicality. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful, phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, and live chat or text-based messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to maintain therapy alongside work, parenting or travel.
