About Christopher
Counsellor Christopher Sarfo is a BACP member with seven years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and fatherhood matters, anger, self-esteem, ADHD and coping with life changes.
Christopher uses an approach rooted in person-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas. He draws on attachment-based and emotionally-focused ways of working, and on mindfulness practices, to help people understand patterns and manage difficult feelings. Sessions focus on clear conversation and practical steps as well as understanding emotional experience.
He has worked in varied settings with adults and with couples, and his practice includes support around family problems, communication and commitment issues. He also addresses multicultural concerns, isolation and shame, and offers help with self-harm thoughts and social anxiety alongside other difficulties.
Christopher describes his work as adapting to each person's situation. That can mean using reflective listening, structured exercises, or short mindfulness practices within sessions. He can also help identify onward support when needed and will discuss options with the person attending.
Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How Christopher links approach and remote counselling
Christopher combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas and elements of mindfulness. Person-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says to help them make sense of their feelings; it can be useful for many relationship and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive behavioural approaches look at patterns of thinking and behaviour and use practical exercises to change unhelpful habits; this suits anxiety, depression and coping skills. Mindfulness offers short exercises to bring attention to the present and can help with stress and emotion regulation.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Christopher will discuss what feels useful and adjust methods based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. That decision is made together rather than imposed.
The exact session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It can also allow sessions where being on camera is optional or where a phone call is preferable when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and mindfulness practices so they work across different remote formats.
