Christopher Poole, BACP

Christopher uses practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on clear goals and day-to-day change. One common approach helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns that fuel anxiety and low mood. It shows how thoughts link to feelings and actions, and teaches simple exercises to try between sessions.

Another approach concentrates on problem solving and behaviour change. It breaks bigger issues into small tasks, such as improving sleep, managing anger or building a routine, so progress can be tracked week by week. These methods suit worries about career, money and life purpose as well as stress and relationship communication.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Christopher will discuss options with each person, try techniques and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful. He works collaboratively to set goals and chooses methods that match the client’s needs and preferences.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer discussion is needed. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, written reflections and flexible scheduling across the week. These formats help people fit therapy into busy lives without losing continuity of care.
