Testimonials
5 months ago
- Lisa MI had 7 sessions with Chris, initially for specific trauma but we ended up working through that and on to anxieties so longstanding I thought they were part of my personality. The changes to my life are very real and I am truly thankful for that.
8 months ago
- Caroline MI had six sessions with Christopher to help with anxiety. I found him to be approachable compassionate understanding and funny. He gave me simple tools required to keep moving forward and I am in a much happier place. Everyone should have a Chris in their lives .
a year ago
- Demi OAfter 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. After 6 sessions I feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders and I have Chris to thank for this. I will be, in the new year looking to invest in some life coaching provided at bannside also, and Iook forward to how this will help me maintain the thought patterns and goals. 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
Areas of Counselling and Life Coaching I work with:
- Abuse
- Anger Management
- Anxiety
