He also offers focused work around abandonment, codependency, control issues, divorce and separation, drug and alcohol addiction, family of origin problems, infidelity, life purpose and midlife challenges.

Approaches Chris Uses and How They Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person at the heart of the work - offering a respectful, non-judgemental space where the therapist follows the client s pace and priorities. This approach can help with low self esteem, relationship concerns and life direction by strengthening self-understanding and autonomy.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is practical and goal-focused. It explores how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and introduces strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, stress, anger and many mood-related issues.

Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to support change in thoughts, feelings or habits. It can be helpful for issues such as addictions, trauma-related responses, stress management and behaviour change when used alongside other therapeutic work.

Finding the right method is part of the therapeutic process. Chris will work collaboratively to identify which approach or combination of approaches best suits a person s goals, preferences and presenting issues, adapting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives and to reach people who prefer remote contact. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent, accessible care while offering different ways for clients to communicate and engage.
