About Christopher
Christopher Reed is a counsellor with 16 years of practice who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and sleeping problems. He supports individuals facing trauma, addiction, grief and intimacy-related struggles. He also works with clients on relationship and communication difficulties, self-esteem, anger, ADHD and a range of sexual and identity concerns.
Christopher uses a direct, respectful style. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward. He listens first, then shapes a plan that fits each person’s life and goals.
Background and approach
People can expect clear conversation about what feels hard and small steps toward change. His work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotions and attachment patterns. He also uses client-centred ways of working to keep sessions focused on the person, and cognitive behavioural techniques when people need tools to change thinking and behaviour.
Over 16 years he has seen a wide range of concerns, including BDSM and kink matters, codependency, gender dysphoria and issues around infidelity or separation. He aims to offer calm, non-judgemental space for topics that can feel shameful or isolating. Sessions take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Christopher is registered with the BACP, practices in the United Kingdom and offers work in English. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.

Online support
How Christopher’s approaches translate to online therapy
Christopher uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people recognise and name their feelings and the patterns that keep them stuck. That approach is useful for worries about attachment, intimacy and relationship-related pain because it focuses on emotion as the route to change.He also works in a client-centred way, which means sessions are guided by the person’s priorities and pace. This style aims to create a steady space where difficult topics can be spoken about without rush. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used when people want practical steps to shift thinking and behaviour, such as tools for anxiety, panic or sleep problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options and try different ways of working to find what fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape each session and the longer-term plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and messaging suits brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while still keeping momentum in the work.
