Who is Christopher and what's he about?
I try not to take myself too seriously, but the passion I put into my work and relationships I take very, very seriously.
Peers in my field have described me as 'a balance of masculine and feminine energy'; this I use to assist in connecting you with your true self with clarity and purpose in life. My path to becoming a counsellor wasn't traditional. I spent two decades navigating the corporate world, analysing data and leading teams of people. This experience honed my analytical skills, igniting a passion for understanding the human side of things once becoming a people leader – the emotions, experiences, and relationships that make us who we are. My additional background working in Correctional Services highlighted the complex challenges individuals face. I can help you identify your patterns and thought processes while creating a space for understanding and compassion.
Lived experiences as a husband, father, and someone who has exposure to relationship challenges, complex family dynamics, addiction and neurodiversity inform my approach. I understand these struggles firsthand, walking alongside you with empathy and understanding.
My journey has enabled me to realised challenges we face each day can be overwhelming, and navigating them alone can seem impossible. My passion lies in guiding others in a no pressure environment towards a clear understanding of their struggles. Unearthing the root of these challenges is incredibly freeing, paving the way for a more empowered and joyful life. I live by the mantra that authenticity is the key. For this to be true there is no judgment here, and no topic is taboo. I believe true healing comes from a place of complete openness and honesty. Society can make us feel as though we we have to wear a mask and not be true to who we are. Together, we can create a safe environment where you feel empowered to be authentic, your true sense of self.
