About Christopher
Christopher Ingram is a BACP psychotherapeutic counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression and the everyday strain of living with health challenges. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as clearer ways to notice what matters most to them.
Christopher takes an integrative approach and blends several ways of working to match what each person needs. He uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioural work to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. He also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live by their values even when symptoms persist.
Attachment-based ideas guide how he looks at relationships and patterns formed early in life. Client-centred principles mean sessions are shaped around the person in front of him rather than a fixed script. Dialectical behaviour elements offer skills for managing strong emotions and impulsive urges.
He has three years of professional experience and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Christopher works with issues such as grief, parenting strain, body image, chronic pain and the ripple effects of abuse or domestic violence. He also supports people exploring gender identity and LGBT concerns.
People who choose Christopher usually want practical strategies alongside reflective conversations. He encourages a steady, collaborative process and checks in on progress so goals stay relevant to real life. If you’re unsure where to start he can help you clarify the first step.

Therapeutic approaches and online work
Christopher draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them and to take actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns that formed early on and how they affect current connections and trust. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room, giving space for the client’s goals and perspectives to guide the work.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christopher will listen to your situation, discuss options and adapt methods to what feels most useful. That means trying practical skills, checking how they fit your life, and shifting focus when something isn’t helping.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, health appointments or caregiving duties. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so you can focus on the conversation. Registered or accredited professionals can use different ways to connect, and the therapist will explain which formats he offers when you arrange the first session.
