About Christopher

Christopher Poole offers a straightforward, compassionate approach to therapy. He focuses on building understanding and connection so people feel heard. Christopher aims to create a calm space where parents can talk about the pressures they face and find practical ways forward.

He has four years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Christopher has worked with people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression, and with those coping with grief and loss.

Background and approach

He also supports clients facing relationship strain, anger and major life changes. In sessions he uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts his style to each person's needs. Conversations are tailored and practical, with attention to how day-to-day routines and thoughts affect wellbeing.

He pays particular attention to issues around self-esteem, motivation and fatherhood concerns. Christopher treats people with respect and sensitivity. He aims to help clients identify usable steps and new perspectives rather than offering quick fixes.

The work tends to focus on understanding patterns, improving communication and building manageable coping strategies. For parents worried about balancing responsibilities and emotional strain, Christopher offers steady support and collaborative planning. He encourages small, sustainable changes that fit real life, and helps people track progress as they move towards clearer goals.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches can work online

Christopher works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding thoughts, feelings and behaviour. One common method looks at how thinking patterns influence mood and actions, helping people reframe unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding to stress and anxiety. Another practical approach concentrates on building day-to-day coping skills and routine changes to reduce overwhelm and improve mood; this often helps with parenting stress and motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as work progresses so the support fits the person's life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls suit in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates, ongoing reflection and support between longer meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare and busy days.
