I listen
Carefully, openly, and without arriving with a ready-made answer for you.
Person-centred counselling
A space to experience your inner worlds.
The thoughts. The feelings. The memories. The hopes. The contradictions. The things you understand about yourself — and the things you don't have words for yet.
01
We can begin where you are
You don't have to know exactly what you want from counselling.
Perhaps something has happened and you're finding it difficult to make sense of. Maybe things have been building for a while. Or you can't quite explain why you're here — only that something doesn't feel right.
A person-centred approach
What you bring to counselling is yours.
I'll listen carefully to what you offer me and pay attention to what seems to be happening for you. Sometimes I might notice something and offer it back to you — perhaps something in what you've said, or something I notice between us.
We notice
We can become curious about what is said, felt, remembered or happening between us.
You decide
You remain the person who decides what feels important and where we go next.
If you want to spend some time somewhere, we can. If you want to explore somewhere else, we can do that too. You may not know exactly where you need to go. That's okay. You don't have to.
I'm there alongside you.02
The relationship matters
Being human with another human.
I'm a counsellor, but I'm also a person.
When I was a client, I sometimes wondered about the person sitting across from me. Who were they? What was I allowed to ask them? Could I really have a relationship with someone who knew so much about me while I knew very little about them?
I think those are reasonable questions.
Finding a way of being together where you feel able to bring what is yours into the room matters. I want to be genuine and present with you, while respecting the boundaries and responsibilities that come with being your counsellor.
Practical details
Wherever you find yourself, we can begin there.
Weekly sessions
A consistent time to keep returning to what matters for you.
£50 per session
We can talk through any practical questions in the introductory call.
From wherever you are
Counselling is available online, giving you a little more flexibility.
By discussion
In-person sessions may be possible in Warwickshire, Coventry or Birmingham.
A free introduction
Meet first. Decide afterwards.
Before deciding whether we'd like to work together, I offer a free 30-minute introductory conversation. You can tell me a little about what has brought you here, ask questions, or simply get a sense of what it's like to talk with me.
✓ There's no expectation that you'll continue afterwards.
A little about me
Hi, I'm Chris.
I'm a person-centred counsellor, and I work with people who are trying to understand something about their lives, themselves or their relationships.
You might be experiencing anxiety, struggling with something from your past, questioning aspects of yourself, or simply finding that life doesn't feel quite right at the moment.
I don't believe I can know your experience better than you do. My role is to listen carefully, pay attention to what you bring, and sometimes offer back what I notice so that we can become curious about it together.
I aim to be warm, honest and present with you, while respecting the boundaries and responsibilities of being your counsellor.

Choosing a counsellor is personal.
Sometimes you need to meet someone before you can know whether you feel comfortable talking to them.
