Christopher Galvin

I have availibility for face to face & Online therapy.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but it might be the most important one you take for yourself. I’m Chris Galvin MBACP, BA Hons and Iam qualified as an Integrative psychotherapist using  person-centred counselling as a base. Put simply I offer a safe space for you to explore whatever you’re going through. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction, loneliness, or just feel stuck in life, or any other issues, therapy can help you make sense of things and move forward.

One of my specialities is addiction and recovery counselling, drawing from both professional experience and my own journey as a recovering alcoholic. I understand how isolating and overwhelming it can feel when you’re facing inner battles that others can’t see. You don’t have to face them alone. Together, we can work through difficult emotions, unhelpful patterns, and past experiences to help you reconnect with who you are and what you need.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to you. Therapy isn’t about being “fixed” it’s about finding clarity & a way forward by creating a lasting change. I offer sessions online via WhatsApp or Zoom, making therapy more accessible and comfortable from wherever you are.

If something here identifies with you, I invite you to reach out. It’s okay not to have all the answers, all you need is a willingness to begin. I would love to chat with you in an initial consultation, where we can see how I can best help you and possibly work together.

My private practice offers a calm, confidential space where your thoughts, feelings, and experiences are valued and understood.  Offering online & Face to Face therapy for adults seeking clarity, support, and emotional healing.  Face to face sessions only availible within the Fylde Coast area, whether at my location or yours. No matter if you're suffering from addiction, anxiety, low self-worth, relationship struggles, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life, I’m here to help you feel heard and supported.

With a person-centred foundation, I tailor each session to meet your unique & individual needs, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches to suit you. I specialise in working with addiction and recovery, and as a recovering alcoholic myself, I bring both lived experience and clinical training to the work we do together. This allows me to meet clients with deep empathy, free from judgment or assumption.

My practice is both face to face and online, to give greater availibility by offering more options. Sessions are held at my home in Blackpool or your home, within local area. Online sessions are held via Zoom or WhatsApp video call, making therapy more accessible, especially for those with busy lives or those who prefer to engage from a familiar space. My clients often describe our sessions as a grounding experience where they can be completely themselves.

If you're feeling lost, stuck, or simply ready for something to change — my practice offers a space for you to slow down, reflect, and begin that process. You’re not alone in this, and I’d consider it a priveledge toshare your journey with you.

Our first session together is an initial fact finding consultation to discuss what issues you are facing, how they affect you and to see if we can work well together. This first session will be at a reduced rate of 50% and will last for 50 minutes.
