About Chris Allen

Chris Allen is a person-centred counsellor and therapist based in Stockport, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom. He brings three years of clinical practice to his work and has run his own private practice for the past year. He supports people experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, bereavement, trauma and low mood, helping them navigate painful life events and transitions.

As a male counsellor, he is particularly committed to encouraging more men to speak openly about their feelings rather than keeping emotions bottled up until they become overwhelming. His therapeutic manner is relaxed, warm and supportive, grounded in empathy, genuineness and positive regard. He approaches each client as an individual, valuing the unique experiences and perspectives they bring to sessions and helping them arrive at their own conclusions about how best to address the challenges they face.

Therapy with Chris aims to help people process past hurt, move forward after relationship breakups or job loss, and shape a future they choose for themselves. He holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects recognised professional standards. He is not accepting new clients at this time.

Client-Centred Practice and Accessible Online Support

Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the centre of the therapeutic process. The therapist offers empathic, non-directive support that helps individuals explore feelings, build self-understanding and discover their own solutions; this approach can be helpful for depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and reactions to trauma.

Because each person brings unique experiences, finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey. The therapist works collaboratively with clients to determine which ways of working suit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the pace and focus as progress unfolds.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging provides practical flexibility, making it easier to fit therapy around work, family or geographical constraints. Registered professionals and therapists can deliver meaningful support through these formats, enabling continuity of care, more convenient scheduling and wider access for clients who cannot attend in person.
