Christopher Sarfo is a counsellor who uses a person-centred way of working to support people through difficult moments. He combines listening with practical steps to reduce stress and anxiety and to improve day-to-day coping. Christopher holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and he has seven years of experience in the field.

People come to Christopher for a wide range of concerns. He helps with depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy challenges, eating and sleeping problems, and issues around self-esteem and anger.

Background and approach

He also supports those facing family problems, parenting strains and work-related stress. His approach mixes client-centred principles with cognitive behavioural ideas and emotionally focused methods. That means sessions often begin with listening to what matters most to the person, then trying out manageable changes in thinking and behaviour.

Mindfulness techniques may be introduced to help with stress and grounding. Christopher has worked in different settings over seven years and is familiar with onward referrals when extra support is needed. He aims to adapt sessions to each person’s needs and life circumstances, and to agree practical, realistic steps together.

Sessions are available in English and can be arranged through online formats. International clients are accepted, and arrangements are made according to the client’s location and availability.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. In online work this can look like mapping typical relationship responses and trying new ways of connecting or setting boundaries, which often helps where trust and closeness are causing distress.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre and uses empathic listening to build understanding. Online sessions use that same attentive listening to help people talk through what matters, name feelings, and decide on manageable next steps.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps spot unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviours. Practically, this can involve short exercises between sessions, structured worksheets, and checking progress during video or chat sessions to see what is changing.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will discuss options with each person and agree a plan based on their goals, preferences and what fits their day-to-day life. He treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts methods as things evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video works well for more in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth or who prefer no camera, live chat is good for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people share updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments.
