Christopher Hurd, NCPS

Christopher Hurd works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and relationship problems. He speaks plainly and focuses on what will help day to day. Christopher emphasises strengths and practical steps, and he encourages small changes that add up to real progress.

He sees clients as the experts on their own lives and builds on what already works for them. Sessions are collaborative and aim to make sense of how past experiences shape present choices. Christopher offers steady, respectful support while people try new ways of coping.

His background includes four years of professional experience helping people with trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, intimacy-related issues and parenting stress. He also works with mood and attention difficulties such as bipolar disorder and ADHD, and with addiction and substance use concerns.

Christopher uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. These include client-centred ideas that prioritise the person’s perspective, emotionally-focused methods that look at feelings in relationships, hypnotherapy, and psychodynamic ideas that consider past patterns. He draws from these approaches to create straightforward goals for therapy.

People who choose Christopher can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through what’s hard and try practical steps between sessions. He supports people as they learn to accept themselves more and build healthier routines and relationships.

How his approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening to the person and following their lead. The therapist reflects back what is said and helps people find their own solutions, which can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and self-esteem issues.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at feelings in close relationships and how people respond to each other. It helps people name emotions and try new ways of communicating, which can ease relationship and intimacy-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christopher will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. The choice is a collaborative one and can be adjusted as therapy unfolds.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find online therapy easier to fit into a busy week, to have shorter check-ins or to avoid travel time. It can make it simpler to schedule around work, caregiving or other commitments while still accessing regular support from a registered or accredited professional.
