Christopher Ingram, BACP

Christopher Ingram helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and trauma. He also supports those facing relationship strain, grief, issues with intimacy, ADHD and career worries. Christopher is a BACP counsellor and he works with a wide range of emotional and practical concerns.

He takes a plain-speaking, flexible approach in sessions. He listens first and asks what matters most to the person in front of him. After that he suggests ways of coping that suit the individual's life and goals. Sessions aim to be straightforward and useful rather than full of jargon.

Christopher blends several therapeutic methods to fit what each person needs. He uses cognitive tools to help with unhelpful thinking and behavioural strategies to build different habits. He also draws on attachment ideas to look at early relationship patterns that still cause pain.

People can expect calm, steady support that focuses on workable steps. He helps build coping skills for sleep, eating, anger and addictive behaviours. He also works on self-esteem, communication and handling big life changes.

Christopher has three years of clinical experience and practises in the United Kingdom. He offers sessions in English and is able to work with people internationally. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging depending on what suits the client.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are then scheduled. Subscriptions are used for payment and can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to take actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression and feeling stuck during life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and tackling patterns that lead to addictive behaviour.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns in close connections. It can help people understand repeated relationship difficulties, abandonment worries and issues with intimacy.

Christopher treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. He will discuss different methods and recommend what to try first based on a person's goals and preferences. Changes are reviewed together and the plan is adjusted if something does not fit.

Online therapy here is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are helpful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone sessions suit people with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or between-session contact. These options provide flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family duties and other commitments.
