About Chris
Chris Allen is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. He has spent the past year running his own practice and focuses on helping people talk about difficult feelings instead of keeping them inside. He often encourages men to put words to their experiences and emotions, aiming to reduce the pressure that comes from bottling things up.
His approach in sessions is relaxed, warm and supportive. He treats each person as an individual and listens without judgement. Chris uses empathy, genuineness and positive regard to help clients reach their own conclusions about next steps.
Chris works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief and trauma. He also addresses issues such as addictions, intimacy-related concerns, body image and self-esteem. Adoption and foster care and abandonment are among the additional areas he notes as a focus.
Sessions aim to help people process past pain, make sense of difficult breakups or job losses, and choose a clearer way forward. The work is collaborative - he accompanies clients as they explore feelings and options rather than directing their choices.
People who prefer a straightforward, empathic listener may find his style helpful. He tends to keep things grounded and practical while still holding space for deeper emotional work. Chris speaks English and accepts international clients.
How a person-centred approach works online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering a non-judgemental, empathic space where the client leads the conversation. The counsellor reflects what they hear, shows genuine understanding and helps the person make sense of their feelings. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship concerns.Chris frames therapy as a collaborative process. He will work with the client to identify goals and to test what style of work feels most useful. If a particular approach does not fit, he will discuss alternatives and adjust the way sessions are run together.
Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family life or other commitments. It can reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins or longer weekly sessions depending on what suits the client.
