About Chris
Chris Wilson is a counsellor who bases his work on existential ideas, helping people find meaning when life feels uncertain. He draws on several therapeutic approaches to suit each person’s needs and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful. He speaks English and works from the United Kingdom.
He keeps language plain and focuses on practical conversations. Sessions often start by identifying what feels stuck - stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or relationship strain.
Background and approach
He also supports people coping with big life changes, grief, addiction and issues around intimacy or identity. His background includes work in a prison setting, where he helped people address addiction, anger and trauma. He has also supported professional athletes and performers through injury, retirement and career transitions.
That variety has shaped a flexible style that adapts to different challenges. Chris uses ideas from client-centred and attachment-based approaches to build trust and understand how relationships affect daily life. He also draws on psychodynamic thinking to notice patterns from the past that still matter now.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques are used when people want practical steps for managing difficult thoughts and feelings. People can expect plain talk and a steady focus on what they want to change. Sessions aim to clarify priorities and try small, realistic steps between appointments.
Chris uses a warm, respectful approach and tailors the work to each person’s situation.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Chris uses Existential Therapy to help people face big life questions and find meaning when they feel stuck; this is useful for worries about purpose, life transitions and identity. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to teach practical ways to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward chosen values. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how past and present relationships affect current patterns and closeness in relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Chris will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that match those aims. He treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts the approach if something is not helping.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction from different locations, while phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, brief reflection or people who prefer writing. These options help therapy fit around work, family life and travel while keeping the focus on steady progress.
