About Christopher
Counsellor Christopher Ingram is a BACP member with three years' experience. He works in the United Kingdom and helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD and relationship concerns among other issues.
Christopher uses an integrative counselling style. He combines several approaches to suit what a client brings. Sessions focus on talking things through, learning coping skills and trying practical steps that can make daily life easier.
He often works with people facing grief, parenting strain, intimacy difficulties and low self-esteem. Other common concerns he sees include eating and sleeping problems, anger, career stress and compassion fatigue. He also lists additional focuses such as attachment issues, adoption and foster care, chronic illness and body image.
His work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred methods. That means sessions can include noticing thoughts, practising new behaviours and looking at relationship patterns.
Christopher aims to be collaborative in sessions. He listens to what matters most to the person and chooses techniques that fit their goals. People can expect practical suggestions alongside reflective conversation.
For practical next steps he asks people to use the site matching tool and then book a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How his approaches work in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and make choices that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It includes practical exercises and behavioural experiments that can help with depression, anxiety and sleep problems.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early bonds. It can help people understand how past relationships affect current intimacy and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will discuss which methods suit someone’s goals and try different techniques in collaboration with the client. The focus is on what helps day-to-day life and on small, testable steps.
The original biography does not specify exact session formats here. Please confirm current online session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer the same therapeutic tasks as face-to-face work, such as practising new skills, doing reflection and setting homework, while helping people apply those skills in everyday situations.
