SERVICES
Chris is a former experienced and fully qualified psychiatrist, psychotherapist and psychoanalyst who has now turned to counselling people suffering from a multitude of emotional issues, including not only personal ones but also marriage and relationship problems, yet he does not resort to drug treatment.
Many of us experience life as not being how we would like it to be and are looking for ways to change that experience. It is common for people to find it difficult to change, and this includes ways of looking at our situation or any number of behaviors that prevent us from living the best possible life that we can. If you would like some strategies to address the issues in life that bother you, or are holding you back then please contact him.
He brings with him a wealth of experience from his previous broad professional life and has successfully treated an extremely wide range of problems. He has extensive training and experience and offers a unique and specialised service to people with not only personal problems, but also family and marriage difficulties, grief and emotional hurdles such as anxiety, PTSD, phobias and interpersonal and relationship issues, including depression, anxiety, unhappy and unrewarding lifestyles and situations.
He is a Facilitator for the Christian based Prepare/Enrich Programme, specifically designed for couples who are contemplating marriage, or couples experiencing problems in their relationship and casts light on the strengths and potential problem areas of the relationship.
He uses a variety of therapies such as Brief, Short Term and Long Term Psychotherapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Marriage and Family Therapy as well as being an experienced Grief and Couples/Relationship Counsellor.
