Christian Minsansa, BACP

Christian Minsansa offers practical, down-to-earth counselling for people coping with major life changes and relationship pain. He works with issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression and addiction, and helps people who are dealing with trauma, domestic abuse and family problems. Sessions are offered in English and French and Christian carries the BACP credential, which is listed as part of his background.

Christian focuses on helping people find their own answers. He listens first and uses a mix of attachment-based, client-centred and solution-focused ideas to help clients make small, useful changes. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at improving day-to-day coping, managing emotions and rebuilding confidence.

Christian trained and practised over three years before moving his work fully online. That shift came after seeing how remote therapy helped people stay connected during the pandemic and afterward. He describes his approach as non-judgemental and practical, with an emphasis on building self-esteem and reducing limiting beliefs.

Clients can expect a calm, conversational style rather than clinical jargon. Sessions aim to make sense of difficult feelings, improve communication patterns and set clear, manageable goals. Christian also draws on attachment ideas when relationships and childhood experiences are part of the issue.

He works with a wide range of concerns including parenting stress, relationship difficulties, career strain, and complex issues such as codependency and family of origin problems. International clients are accepted and sessions run remotely, with scheduling organised through the site.

How Christian’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current behaviour and feelings; it helps when people struggle with trust, abandonment or repeating relationship patterns. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can find their own solutions; this is useful for building self-esteem and emotional clarity. Solution-focused work concentrates on small, practical steps and goals to change what is happening now, which suits people wanting quick, actionable progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Christian treats it as a collaboration. He will listen to your concerns, discuss what feels helpful and try different ways of working until a good fit emerges. The aim is to match methods to your needs, goals and personal preferences rather than applying a single fixed model.

Christian moved to remote sessions after seeing how online work increased accessibility. Check the session options before booking to confirm the exact formats he currently offers. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce commuting time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people access help across locations, which is useful for international clients.
