About Me
Hi, I’m Chris. I support people navigating life when illness changes everything – particularly when your body and mind feel at odds with each other, and when healthcare doesn’t have all the answers you need.
With 15 years’ experience in mental health and 11 years in NHS settings, I’ve seen both sides of the healthcare journey. I know how frustrating it feels when tests come back “normal” but your life feels anything but normal.
As a BABCP-accredited therapist, I specialise in that often-overlooked space where chronic health conditions and emotional wellbeing intersect. I work with CBT, ACT, and EMDR, adapting my approach to what works best for you. I’ve developed Long-Term Conditions pathways within NHS services and provided supervision to qualified therapists.
Most importantly, I understand that your health concerns are often realistic and valid – my job isn’t to challenge them or convince you they’re “just anxiety.” Instead, I help you break the exhausting cycle where symptoms create worry, and worry amplifies symptoms, so you can reconnect with what truly matters in your life.
Ready to break the cycle?
When your tests are normal but your life isn’t, and worry keeps amplifying your symptoms, it’s time for support that understands both sides of your experience.
When you’re tired of being your own detective
Living with ongoing symptoms can leave you feeling like you’ve lost yourself. When your tests come back normal but your life feels anything but normal, it’s exhausting to keep searching for answers while trying to manage the worry that makes everything worse.
You shouldn’t have to choose between having your physical experience validated or getting support for the anxiety that comes with it. I help people break the vicious cycle where symptoms create worry, and worry amplifies symptoms – so you can reconnect with what truly matters, even when your body feels unpredictable.
You’re not broken, and you’re not “just anxious.” You’re adapting to difficult circumstances while navigating a healthcare system that doesn’t always have the answers you need. With the right support, you can find your way forward.
