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 big life shifts, stress, and personal crises. He seeks to meet each person where they are and walk alongside them as they look for clearer direction.

He works with grief and loss, and with people who have experienced trauma. He also helps with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and the practical pressures that come with career and parenting roles. Midlife concerns are part of his work, including questions about purpose, commitment, and change.

In sessions he aims to find the root of the difficulties a person is facing and to support practical ways forward. He uses a client-centred stance that lets the person set the pace and focus. He also draws on existential ideas about meaning and choice, and mindfulness practices to help notice unhelpful patterns.

Christopher holds BACP registration with practice in the UK. He sees English-speaking clients and accepts international clients. He describes therapy as a collaborative journey where small shifts add up over time.

To begin, he asks people to reflect on what they most want to change and to bring that into the first meetings. He aims for clear, plain conversation and realistic steps that can be used between sessions.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of each session. The focus is on listening, reflecting what matters to the person and following their priorities to build trust and clarity. This approach can help when someone wants to talk through difficult decisions or find a new direction.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility. It invites honest questions about life purpose, commitment and the values that shape decisions. This can be useful for people facing midlife questions, career shifts or a sense of emptiness.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and notice patterns. Short mindfulness exercises can help manage anxiety, improve focus and support emotional regulation between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas and practices fit their goals and pace. Plans can change as therapy progresses to match what is proving helpful.

Details about online session types were not specified in the biography, so confirm available formats before booking. Many people find online counselling useful because it can fit around work and family routines, cut travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt techniques so that mindfulness, reflective conversation and existential questions work well over distance.
