About Christopher
Christopher Hurd is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, addiction and relationship difficulties. He uses a calm, respectful style and aims to help people feel understood as they work through painful experiences. Christopher acknowledges that taking the first step towards change can feel hard, and he offers steady support along the way.
He believes each person is the expert on their own life and builds on existing strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions start by listening closely to what matters most to the client. From there he helps people make sense of how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviours. Christopher draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions and connections affect wellbeing, and on Client-Centred and psychodynamic ideas to follow the client’s pace and story.
He may also suggest hypnotherapy techniques when appropriate to help with focus and coping skills. His work typically involves talking through situations, naming emotions, and practising ways to respond differently. That can include trying new ways of communicating, managing urges, or changing unhelpful patterns that keep problems going.
Christopher holds NCPS and has four years of professional experience. He offers sessions in English and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally via online formats. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a session that fits the person’s needs.

Approaches Christopher names
Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.
Online support
Working with emotions online and practical approaches
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how feelings shape relationships and personal wellbeing. It helps people understand and shift emotional responses that keep them stuck, which can be useful for anxiety, relationship strain and grief.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s pace. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so the person can explore their own values and solutions. Psychodynamic ideas are sometimes used to notice patterns from past experiences that repeat in current life and to bring those patterns into awareness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and he adapts the plan as things change. That choice is made together, based on what the person hopes to achieve.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging for flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days, while chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options help people fit counselling around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
