Christopher Robertson, BACP

Christopher Robertson is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience. He works with people who are facing loss, trauma, anxiety and stress. He aims to help individuals make sense of what they're dealing with and to support the next steps in their life.

He focuses on understanding the roots of a problem rather than just treating surface symptoms. Sessions are practical and conversational. He helps clients identify patterns, try new ways of responding, and build on their strengths.

Christopher uses client-centred approaches that place the person’s own experience at the heart of the work. He also brings in existential ideas that look at meaning and choice, and mindfulness practices that help with day-to-day regulation and focus.

Common concerns he addresses include grief and bereavement, trauma and abuse, depression, stress, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, and struggles with self-esteem and body image. He also supports those facing life changes such as separation, parenting pressures, career shifts, or midlife reassessment.

People can expect a calm, non-judgemental tone in sessions and guidance that is tailored to their goals. Christopher encourages curiosity about difficult feelings and practical steps people can try between sessions.

How these approaches look in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the work. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is heard, and helps people find their own answers to difficult problems. This approach is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, grief, and relationship concerns.

Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps when life transitions, feelings of emptiness, or a sense of being stuck are the main concerns. The work is conversational and aims to clarify values and next steps.

Mindfulness Therapy offers simple practices to bring attention to the present moment and ease overwhelming feelings. These techniques can support stress management, anxiety and day-to-day coping.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to agree what feels most useful based on goals, preferences and what emerges in early sessions. Clients and the therapist review progress and adapt the approach as needed.

Confirm the session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-in sessions when needed. It can also be useful when quieter surroundings or not using video are preferable for a session.
