Testimonials

I found Chris to be extremely friendly and approachable helping me to open up about some issues i was dealing with caused by a life changing illness. After my 8 sessions I feel that a solid foundation has been laid to continue my journey of recovery. I can’t thank him enough for all his help and advice. I would highly recommend using him.

After 6 counselling sessions with Chris I've really noticed a huge difference in myself. Chris is kind, positive, responsive and informative. I loved the analogies and explanations he gave to me to help figure things out. Thank you so much for everything Chris!

Bannside Counselling-Life Coaching Ethos

'Making counselling & life coaching services accessible in our community.'

I am all about people, and helping them navigate life's difficulties. Most are managed with the help of those close to you, sometimes though this may not be enough.  Then problems creep up and take over, you end up with nowhere to turn, caught in a spiral of negative thoughts. Now imagine having someone to help you unravel the knots and connect the dots so you find solutions that are right for you. I can create such a place where thinking patterns and perspectives change to allow new possibilities to be realised. 
 
As a integrated counsellor and life coach I draw on a variety of counselling and coaching techniques from:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
  • Psychodynamic Approach
  • Person-Centred Approach
  • Neuro-Linguistic Programming

My natural style is positive and action orientated; by getting in touch with the person, their problems tend to sort themselves out and attention moves to what really matters. At the heart of my approach is our relationship which is founded on collaboration, openness and trust.

Workshops

I also offer Workshops to businesses and community groups as some people can gain so much by working with others. Here ideas are bounced around and experiences shared to generate fresh patterns of thinking to achieve results. Popular Workshops are:

  • Well-being & Stress Management
  • Self discovery
  • Authentic Leaders & Teams
