Counsellor Chris Hnain

Hi there, my name is Chris and I've been working as a counsellor for 10 years. At the heart of my work is empathy and compassion, and I aim to support clients with patience and a client-focused lens.

In my practice, I apply a Solution-Focused approach , and tend to integrate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and aspects of Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) . Furthermore, I like to include mindfulness techniques when suitable.

In terms of my clients, they come from diverse ages and backgrounds, and typically have concerns with depression, anxiety, self-esteem grief, work-related stress, and addictions. I am also experienced with clients who identify as LGBTQ+.

Thank you for taking the time to read about my experience, and I invite anyone who feels "stuck" and finding it difficult to move forward to book with me. I'm here to listen and to collaborate with you on finding better ways to manage and making changes that are both positive and long-term.

I originally didn't know what to expect and have never done in person counselling before because I felt a bit shameful sharing in person. However, doing it remotely online was very easy and I was able to open up.
