If a relationship problem is what brought you here, we can start with what happened rather than trying to decide who was right. We can look at how you understand it, what was and was not within your control, and what you want to do next.
My work is grounded in person-centred therapy. Where it helps, I draw on CBT, FACT and Restorative Practice, and we work out together what is useful.

On feeling at ease
“From my initial contact with Chris, I have always felt welcome to share anything and at ease during the sessions.”
A lot of my work starts with relationships - understanding what happened, communicating differently, making a decision, rebuilding after something changed, or working out what you want next.
Relationship counselling for men →We start with what is happening now and what you want to be different. There is no fixed formula. If you already know what you want to do, we can look at what happens when you try it. If you do not know yet, we can start there.
Standard conversations last 50 minutes. Longer conversations are also available. What you say is confidential, and I explain the limits of that before we start.
We start with what is going on and what you notice when it comes up, including what your mind starts telling you about it.
We work out what you need, where your boundaries are and what is actually within your control. You decide what matters and what you want to do next.
If there is something you want to try differently, we work that out together. You take it outside the session, see what happens, and we make sense of it from there.
Sometimes that means working towards repair - with someone else, or with yourself. Sometimes it means deciding for yourself what comes next.
In-person sessions run in Southport, PR8 and PR9.

Who I’m registered with, how your data is handled, and the suicide first aid training I hold.
Tell me what you want help with, and ask whatever you need to. The welcome call is for deciding whether to work together and is not a therapy session.
No. The call is for asking questions and working out whether you want to start. If you do, we arrange sessions separately afterwards.
No. You can book directly with me.
No. You can book one session at a time at £60, or pay £275 upfront for 5 sessions if you already know you want some continuity. Neither is a commitment to finish a set number.
