About Christopher
Christopher Ingram is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression and trauma. He supports those dealing with grief, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, and difficulties with sleep or eating. Christopher aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk honestly about what’s hard for them.
He uses a blend of approaches rather than one fixed method. That means sessions are shaped around what each person needs.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on understanding personal stories, spotting patterns that cause pain, and noticing small changes that make life easier. Christopher draws on Narrative ideas to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help people clarify values and take meaningful action.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy elements are used when practical steps can reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Christopher listens, asks questions, and offers gentle challenges when useful.
He helps people develop coping strategies, manage strong emotions, and plan small, achievable changes that fit everyday life. Clients can expect a calm, steady presence and a focus on practical progress. Christopher’s background is three years of counselling practice in the United Kingdom and he works in English.
He accepts international clients and offers video, phone, chat and text options.

Online session options
How narrative and action-focused therapy work online
Christopher commonly draws on Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they hold about themselves and where those stories came from. This approach can be useful for addressing identity questions, shame, and repeating patterns in relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is also part of his practice and focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps that align with those values. ACT often helps with anxiety, depression and motivation problems.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christopher works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means techniques may shift over time as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let people read body language and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching-style support or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
