Christopher Robertson, BACP

Christopher Robertson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and challenges that affect how they feel about themselves. Christopher aims to guide people through difficult moments and help them find clearer ways to move forward.

He begins by listening closely to what matters most to the person sitting across from him. This helps him identify the underlying issues rather than only addressing surface symptoms. Sessions are straightforward and paced to match each person's needs, with room for reflection and practical next steps.

Christopher draws on client-centred work to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can explore their concerns. He also uses existential ideas to help people examine meaning, values and life direction when they feel stuck. Mindfulness practices are offered to help manage overwhelming thoughts and bodily tension.

People often come to him for relationship and intimacy issues, eating and body image struggles, parenting stresses, career crossroads, or feelings of isolation and emptiness. He also supports those coping with addiction, compassion fatigue and difficulties tied to veteran and armed forces experiences.

Sessions can include short practical exercises, guided reflection and straightforward discussion about next steps. Christopher encourages people to take things at their own pace and to focus on what feels most useful in everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Christopher uses client-centred therapy to make space for each person’s story. This approach focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions. It is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship strain and life changes.

He also draws on existential therapy to help people look at meaning, values and direction. That approach supports those wrestling with emptiness, midlife questions, fatherhood issues or choices about career and purpose. Mindfulness practices are used to bring attention to the body and breath, which helps manage anxiety, stress and overwhelming thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christopher will talk through different ways of working and agree on what fits a person's goals and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made so the therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well for brief check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suits people who prefer writing or need short, ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to continue therapy across different locations.
