Christopher Sleapwood

I am accepting new clients and can offer in-person, online, and telephone sessions to suit your needs. 

I am available for therapy sessions on Thursdays, Fridays late afternoon, and Saturday mornings.

Hello, I’m Chris. At Reflective Presence Therapy, I offer a calm, supportive space where you can pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most to you.

You may be facing significant life changes, feeling stuck in relationships, or struggling with anger, low mood, or self-esteem. If things feel overwhelming or uncertain, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to work through it on your own.

As a relational therapist, I aim to provide a safe, supportive environment for authentic connection. Through active collaboration, we will explore your struggles, uncover patterns that no longer serve you, and find practical ways to move forward together.

My work is guided by a relational integrative approach, which means I focus on building a strong, supportive connection in tailoring therapy to your unique needs. Seeking to balance challenge with support in our sessions, I combine Gestalt, Psychodynamic and CBT approaches —helping you understand patterns, build awareness, and explore deeper experiences so you can create lasting change.

Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, uncover patterns that no longer serve you, and find practical ways to move forward. I specialise in helping people navigate life transitions, improve relationships, and build self-acceptance. My goal is to support you in creating meaningful change so you can feel more grounded, confident, and connected.

I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation to discuss your needs and establish arrangements for an initial session. Please contact me to schedule a consultation, including your availability and contact details.

Before our first session, I will send you a short assessment and personal details form to complete before the appointment.

Our first session is an opportunity for us to meet and begin getting to know one another. We will talk about what has brought you to therapy and what you hope to gain from our work together, at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I will explain how I work, outline practical details such as confidentiality and boundaries, and answer any questions you may have. 

This initial session is also a space for you to see how it feels to work with me, with no obligation to continue unless it feels right for you.
