Christine Feather

Hello. My name is Chris Feather and I am a BACP accredited Counsellor and qualified Supervisor. My counselling practice is based in Leicester close to the city centre but I also have an office at my home in rural South Leicestershire.

I began my counselling journey in 2004 and I have been working as a counsellor in Leicester, Market Harborough and surrounding areas ever since . I initially trained as a Person-Centred Counsellor at South Leicestershire College, Wigston but since then I have studied Cognitive Behavioral Practice which allows me to use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques in my work if needed.

In 2015 I gained a Certificate in Counselling & Psychotherapy Supervision and I am now happy to offer supervision to qualified counsellors.

My aim is to providing counselling for the people of Leicester, South Leicestershire and North Northamtonshire in a safe, confidential and non-judgmental way. I undertake therapy with individuals on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period, with the aim of helping them to have a clearer understanding of their life, their issues and to find a way forward.

I only work Weds afternoon/evening at the clinic in Leicester. Zoom or phone working is Monday thru to Thursday lunchtime, including early evenings. 

Hi my name is Chris and I am a Counsellor with 13 years’ experience of working with adults in many different settings. I am BACP accredited and also a qualified Supervisor. I combine my initial Person-Centred training with CBT in a way that works to support you to find your own solutions to what is troubling you.

I am happy to work with most presentations because over the years I have worked with people with many forms of psychological issues including bereavement, anxiety & stress, panic attacks, eating disorders, relationship problems, self-esteem issues, depression and doubts about sexual orientation.

Prior to training as a counsellor, up until 2014 I was a Radiographer/Sonographer in the NHS, UK Private healthcare and overseas. I therefore bring a wealth of knowledge and experience from that part of my life which I find enhances the skills I offer to my clients.

I do not work with couples, families or under 18’s because I have no experience in these areas.

I work out of a room at the Leicester Sport Medicine Clinic in Leicester. I have appointments on a Wednesday afternoon/evening. Alternatively I can be flexible on times if we work via phone or Zoom. 

After 10 years as a counsellor, in 2015 I studied for and gained a Certificate in Counselling and Psychotherapy Supervision and began one to one and group supervision of volunteer counsellors at Leicester Women's Counselling Centre (LWCC). Since then I have have supervised Associate Counsellors working for the De Montfort University student counselling service. I was a supervisor for trainee Counsellors on the Foundation Degree in Integrative Counselling at University of Leicester until the course closed. In this role I provided both group and individual supervision. 

I now work as a private supervisor via telephone, video or face to face for individual supervision.

For supervision I charge £45 an hour or £60 for a one and a half hour session. 

I can see you for supervision at my room in Leicester, at home in rural South Leicestershire or via phone or Zoom.
