About Christopher
Christopher Reed is a counsellor with 16 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, addiction, trauma and abuse, and LGBT concerns. He also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, anger, low self-esteem and life transitions.
He aims for simple, direct conversations. Sessions are shaped around the person's needs and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Christopher emphasises respect, sensitivity and a non‑judgemental attitude, and he encourages practical steps alongside emotional exploration.
Background and approach
His background includes long-term membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP. That membership is noted as part of his professional record. Over his career he has worked with a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and issues related to gender and sexuality.
He uses a mix of approaches to suit different goals. Hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred work are among the methods he draws on. He may also use approaches aimed at processing traumatic memories and at improving emotional connection.
People who choose to work with him typically find a collaborative process. He will talk through goals, try straightforward strategies, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The focus is on helping people build coping skills and move toward clearer thinking and steadier moods.

Online support
How his approaches work online
Hypnotherapy is used to guide focus and calm the mind, often with relaxed imagery and suggestions that support better sleep, reduced anxiety or shifts in habits. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns with practical exercises and clear strategies. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and giving the person space to find their own answers while the counsellor reflects and supports their pace.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences, then try methods that suit those aims. If one technique does not fit, the plan is adjusted so the person feels involved in choosing what helps them most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for conversational therapy and guided techniques like hypnotherapy. Phone sessions can be easier when someone needs a shorter check-in or has low bandwidth. Live chat and messaging let people work through issues in smaller bursts or keep a thread of support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
