About Christopher

Christopher Ingram is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD and a wide range of relationship and life concerns.

He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, Client-Centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Sessions are conversational and aim to help people name emotions, notice patterns, and try small changes that can feel manageable day to day.

Christopher offers practical ways to cope with grief, intimacy concerns, body image issues, sleeping and eating problems, and career stress. He also works with people facing abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, autism and Asperger syndrome, and caregiver strain. Notes about addiction, domestic violence and separation are included in his areas of focus.

His style is collaborative - he listens, reflects what he hears, and checks in about what is useful. Work may include looking at unhelpful thoughts, trying grounding or breathing techniques, and exploring emotional responses that keep repeating.

Sessions begin with a short assessment to clarify goals and priorities. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. International clients may be accepted; language of work is English.

Online sessions and therapeutic approaches

Christopher integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based work. EFT helps people name and shift emotional patterns that repeat in relationships and internal reactions. ACT focuses on clarifying values and building small actions that matter even when thoughts are difficult. Attachment-based methods look at how early bonds shape current ways of relating and feeling safe with others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try different ways of working and check in together about what feels most helpful. That makes the process collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises for a screen, use guided breathing or brief worksheets, and help people practice skills between sessions to support steady progress.
