About Christopher

Christopher Robertson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He focuses on helping men and others manage stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. He frames early sessions around what you want to address and looks for practical ways forward.

He works with people who have experienced trauma, addiction or compassion fatigue, and those struggling with self-esteem, body image or relationship issues. Many sessions involve talking through the problem, noticing patterns, and finding small steps that make daily life easier.

Christopher uses client-centred ways of working that keep your goals at the heart of each session. He also draws on existential ideas to help people weigh values and meaning, and mindfulness practices to build awareness and emotional tolerance. These approaches are used to fit what each person needs rather than as fixed rules.

Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. Christopher aims to create a calm space where people can speak honestly and test new ways of coping. He encourages practical tools alongside reflection so clients can try things between meetings.

He accepts clients from the UK and internationally and welcomes enquiries from people who identify with men’s wellbeing concerns. To begin, he asks people to explain what they hope to change so sessions can be shaped around those aims.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings. The therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities to make sure sessions stay relevant to real concerns. This approach is useful for people wanting a respectful, non-directive space to talk.

Existential Therapy looks at life choices, values and meaning. It helps when someone is questioning purpose, facing big life changes, or feeling stuck in midlife transitions. Sessions help clarify what matters and what actions match those values.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It can support stress, anxiety and patterns of rumination by building short, practical habits to use between meetings.

Finding the right combination of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences and daily life. That selection may change as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep continuity during relocations or travel. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking so you know how meetings will be run.
