Christopher Sarfo, BACP

Christopher Sarfo is a professional counsellor with over seven years of clinical experience working with adults, children and couples across a range of settings. He draws on a person-centred foundation while integrating behavioural and other therapeutic methods to meet each client's unique needs, and he is experienced in addressing issues such as stress, anxiety, family and relationship concerns, trauma and grief, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and fatherhood matters, anger, low self-esteem, career challenges, ADHD and coping with life changes.

Christopher adapts his approach to suit the individual circumstance, combining person-centred principles with cognitive and integrative techniques as appropriate. His practice includes work with couples and families as well as one-to-one support, and he is comfortable supporting clients through relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, commitment and communication problems, social anxiety, isolation, guilt and shame, and other complex emotional concerns.

He is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and practices in line with its Ethical Framework. Christopher is also registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office, and he aims to offer a professional, consistent service that responds to each person’s goals and preferences. He welcomes the opportunity to support people at different stages of life and change.

Approaches for Online Work and Therapeutic Support

Christopher commonly draws on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and client-centred and attachment-based ideas in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and developing practical strategies to change them - it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, stress and difficulties with sleep or eating. Client-centred therapy places the client’s experience at the centre of the process, emphasising empathy, acceptance and collaboration to help people explore their feelings and find their own solutions. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationship experiences shape current patterns in relationships and regulation, and they can be useful for addressing intimacy, family dynamics, trauma-related responses and difficulties with connection.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christopher works collaboratively with people to assess needs, goals and preferences and to tailor methods that fit the individual. He may blend elements from different approaches to match what a person brings to therapy and how they respond over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit schedules, mobility and comfort. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of support across locations and time zones and to access registered professionals when in-person meetings are not possible.
