About Christopher
BACP, 5 years' experience. Christopher Robertson works in the United Kingdom and offers counselling focused on grief, trauma, self-understanding and everyday struggles. He uses Client-Centred, Existential and Mindfulness approaches to help people look at what lies beneath their difficulties and to develop ways of coping.
Christopher aims to help people identify the roots of their problems. He talks through feelings around loss, trauma and stress in a straightforward way. Sessions are conversational and grounded in the person's experience rather than in jargon. He works on issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction and relationship and intimacy-related problems.
He draws on Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the client's perspective and to encourage honest self-reflection. Existential Therapy is used to look at meaning, choices and responsibility when life feels unsettled. Mindfulness-based techniques are introduced to help manage stress and strong emotions in the moment.
Practical concerns like parenting, career stress, body image and fatherhood issues are included in his work. He also addresses topics such as guilt, shame, infidelity, loneliness and midlife questions. Christopher lists veteran and armed forces issues among his focus areas.
Sessions are conducted in English and Christopher accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How his approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and on open, non-directive dialogue. It helps people talk through feelings and develop a clearer sense of themselves and their choices.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, responsibility and life decisions when a person feels stuck or uncertain. It can help with issues such as midlife questions, emptiness and major life changes.
Mindfulness Therapy offers practical exercises to reduce stress and to manage strong emotions in the moment. These techniques are often used alongside conversational work to support day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then agree a way of working together. This is a collaborative process and may change as needs evolve.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find the mix of talking work and mindfulness exercises transfers well to remote sessions.
