About Christopher

Christopher Ingram is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and loss. He also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care matters, gender identity issues and challenges linked to ADHD. He works in a straightforward, compassionate way and aims to make therapy feel practical and understandable.

Sessions focus on what the person brings in that day. Christopher blends different approaches to match each person's needs. Conversations aim to build clearer thinking, safer emotional responses and better everyday coping skills rather than using jargon or complex theory.

He uses methods that encourage people to notice their thoughts and values, to strengthen close relationships, and to practise small changes between sessions. That might mean learning new ways to manage anxiety, setting limits around relationships, or trying out different responses to cravings or urges.

Christopher holds BACP accreditation, which indicates adherence to a recognised professional body. He has three years of clinical experience working with adults on a range of life challenges and mental health concerns.

People who choose him can expect a calm, collaborative tone. He aims to listen carefully, offer clear options, and help people make steady progress toward practical goals. If you are unsure how to begin, he guides you through the first steps so therapy can fit into everyday life.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then act in line with what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and finding direction after big changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people build safer, more trusting ways of relating. This can support people with abandonment, attachment issues and relationship concerns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping the person find their own solutions. It is helpful when someone needs a steady, non-judgemental space to think things through.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and day-to-day life. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people attend from different locations, including from other countries, which this counsellor accepts. Overall, online work aims to keep discussions practical and to help people translate what they learn into everyday life.
