Welcome to Chris Charles Counselling

I am Chris Charles, I work online with an integrative approach that draws from Gestalt, Person Centred and Psychodynamic training.

Integrative Counselling is a combined approach to psychotherapy that brings together different elements of specific therapies. This approach acknowledges that different clients have different needs and that there can be benefits from drawing from various methods. I believe that each person needs to be considered as a whole and counselling techniques are better tailored to clients individual needs and personal circumstances.

I have an Advanced Diploma and a Post Graduate Certificate in Gestalt Psychotherapy and a Diploma and Degree in Person Centred Counselling.

I have ten years experience in long term therapy as well as time-limited work.

I am a registered member of the BACP.

I work with adults and young people in private practice and older people within an organisation.

I am committed to providing a safe space to explore and talk about the difficulties you may be experiencing.

I have worked successfully with a wide variety of backgrounds, cultures and religions, helping to relieve symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress and other psychological symptoms. I have a background in theatre, music and the Arts in general, which informs my work and my outlook on life in terms of creativity, imagination and play.

I offer long or short term therapy to address your difficulties. I work relationally, offering therapy that is strictly confidential, safe, professional and friendly to provide you with a dedicated space, time and support to explore and work through your difficulties.

I recognise that finding a counsellor and booking that first appointment can feel overwhelming. However, taking that first step could be the beginning of a process that enables you to bring about a change (or a shift). You are most welcome to call for a chat to discover if I am the right counsellor for you.
