About Christopher
Christopher Sarfo is a counsellor who draws on person-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches to help people handle parenting strain and related worries. He holds BACP membership and has seven years of practical experience. Christopher offers a calm, straightforward style that focuses on what’s happening now and what can change next.
He often helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious or overwhelmed by parenting duties and life changes. He also supports work on relationships, intimacy-related issues, anger, grief and addictive behaviours.
Background and approach
Sessions can address sleep and eating concerns, self-esteem, and difficulties linked to ADHD. Christopher adapts his approach to each person. He uses client-centred listening to understand priorities.
He brings in cognitive behavioural tools when patterns and behaviours need shifting. He may also use attachment-focused ideas to look at how relationships and early bonds affect current struggles. In practice he keeps sessions practical and goal-focused.
Parents can expect help with communication problems, commitment worries and fatherhood issues. He also works on guilt, shame, isolation and multicultural concerns in ways that respect each person’s context. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online by following the site’s matching and booking steps.
Christopher aims to guide people toward clearer choices and steadier routines, one conversation at a time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Christopher uses client-centred counselling to prioritise what matters to each person. This means sessions begin with careful listening and follow the person’s pace, which helps with parenting worries and relationship strain. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to change routines and responses. That approach is useful for anxiety, sleep and eating problems and for tackling patterns that feed stress.Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Christopher will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day realities to decide whether client-centred listening, CBT or attachment ideas fit best. Decisions about approach are reviewed as progress is made so the plan can change if needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy around work, childcare and travel without needing to be in one place.
