About Christopher
Christopher Ingram is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression and trauma. He works with clients on issues such as ADHD, grief, gender identity and relationship or intimacy concerns. He aims to make each session approachable and practical for everyday life.
Christopher uses an integrative style that mixes methods to suit each person. Sessions focus on listening, clear goals and small steps that build coping skills. He keeps language plain and practical so people can use what they learn between meetings.
He draws on approaches like cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values. Attachment-based thinking and client-centred work guide how he understands relationships and offers support. These methods are combined to match what each person needs.
Christopher has three years of experience and holds BACP membership, which is listed as his professional credential. He works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. He also accepts international clients.
In early sessions he will listen to what matters most and agree simple, practical steps. People who come for help can expect a calm, non-judgemental conversation and tools aimed at everyday problems like sleep, eating, stress or coping with change. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Approaches that guide online work and what to expect
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and offers practical steps to change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns from early relationships to understand current connection and trust issues, and can help with intimacy, abandonment and attachment-related problems. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and choose or blend methods together with the client. That means sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time as needs become clearer. Please confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people choose online counselling because it can fit into a busy week, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work also allows practical tools and worksheets to be shared during sessions, and shorter check-ins can be arranged when schedules require a quick meeting rather than a full session.Step 4
