About me and my therapy practice
Hi, I'm Christian.
I'm an integrative counsellor based in Plymouth, working with adults face to face and online across the UK. I have a particular focus on men’s mental health and work with people experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma, self-worth, anger, or simply a sense that something does not feel quite right.
A lot of the people I work with have spent a long time trying to manage things on their own. You might appear to be coping on the outside while underneath feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, frustrated or stuck.
My approach is straightforward, relational and human. Counselling with me is not about being analysed or told how you should live your life. We work together to understand what is happening, explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck and consider what meaningful change might look like in your everyday life.
I work integratively, which means I draw on different therapeutic approaches depending on what you need rather than expecting you to fit into one particular model. Some sessions may involve exploring past experiences and emotions, while others may be more focused on what is happening in your life right now.
I believe insight is important, but understanding yourself is only part of the work. Therapy can also be about learning to respond differently, developing healthier relationships with yourself and others, and taking what you discover in the therapy room into real life.
You do not need to arrive knowing exactly what you want to talk about. Sometimes we start simply with the sense that something feels difficult, heavy or stuck and work from there.
Practice description
I offer counselling for adults face to face in Plymouth and online across the UK.
Sessions are available weekly or fortnightly and last 50 minutes. My work has a particular focus on men’s mental health, although I work with adults of all genders.
I aim to offer a space that feels grounded, collaborative and free from judgement, where we can make sense of what is happening and work towards change at a pace that feels right for you.
My first session
The first session is an opportunity for us to begin understanding what has brought you to counselling and what you would like support with.
There is no expectation that you arrive with everything figured out. We can talk through what is happening, what you hope might feel different, and whether the way I work feels right for you.
If we decide to continue working together, we can then agree a regular weekly or fortnightly session online.
