About Christopher
Christopher Hurd is a counsellor who focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship strain. He spends sessions listening carefully and helping clients notice what already works for them. Christopher’s style is down-to-earth and straightforward so people can talk about what matters most to them.
He respects that each person knows their life best and treats clients as the leading expert on their experience. Over four years of practice he has supported people dealing with grief, trauma and depression as well as parenting concerns and intimacy-related issues.
Background and approach
Christopher uses that experience to tailor each conversation to the person in front of him. His approach draws on several ways of working. He offers client-centred conversations that follow a person’s own goals and emotionally-focused work to help with close relationships and attachment concerns.
He also brings in psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns and hypnotherapy where a different route to change may help. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded. Christopher helps people identify small steps and new perspectives to manage everyday pressures and long-standing problems.
He supports work on self-esteem, communication problems, and coping with life changes. Based in the United Kingdom and using English, he accepts international clients for online work. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How Christopher's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead to build clarity and confidence; it helps when someone wants support that respects their own goals. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on feelings in relationships and attachment needs, helping people understand and shift patterns that cause hurt or distance. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at repeated life patterns and early influences to make sense of current difficulties and support lasting change.Choosing an approach is part of the work itself. Christopher will discuss options and decide together with each client which methods feel most useful based on needs, goals and personal preferences. This collaborative process can change over time as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility. Video calls suit fuller conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
