Christopher Masters , BACP, NCPS

Christopher Masters is a counsellor who focuses on helping people through stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. He speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure. Christopher works in English and offers sessions to clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

He has eight years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Christopher prefers to listen first and then shape conversations around what matters most to each person. He aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion while adapting the pace to individual needs.

Sessions are personalised. Christopher helps people identify clear, small goals and practical next steps. He will talk through feelings around abandonment, attachment, body image, caregiving strain, chronic illness and other stresses that often accompany day-to-day life.

Communication patterns and boundaries also come up a lot in his work, as do issues around guilt, shame, forgiveness and impulsivity. He supports people thinking through midlife transitions, men’s issues, isolation and questions about life purpose. The focus is on what a person wants to change and how to take manageable steps.

Christopher uses a collaborative approach to create a plan that fits a person's situation and pace. He recognises that starting therapy takes courage and aims to make each session straightforward and focused on practical progress.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Christopher uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical work. One common approach is short-term problem solving where sessions identify immediate steps to reduce anxiety and stress, useful for people needing concrete strategies. Another area of focus is trauma-informed conversation which pays attention to safety and pacing while helping people process painful experiences and build coping skills.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will together consider goals, preferences and how quickly someone wants to move. Christopher adjusts methods as therapy progresses so the plan fits the person's life and needs rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for different routines. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and messaging supports short ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving or travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
