Therapy That Makes Sense
If you're tired of feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or just not yourself, you're in the right place. This isn't about endlessly talking about problems. It's about understanding them and building the tools to overcome them. This is for you if:
You're dealing with stress
Work pressure, family life, and personal expectations are piling up, and it feels like you're constantly in 'drive' mode.
You feel disconnected
You find it hard to understand or express your emotions, leading to frustration in your relationships and for yourself.
You want real change
You're looking for more than just a listening ear. You want practical strategies and a clear path to becoming a more resilient version of yourself.
A No-Nonsense Approach to Wellbeing
My approach is built on a simple idea: therapy should be a team effort with a clear goal. We work together to understand your mind's 'emotional navigation system' so you can steer your life in the direction you want.
Therapy as Coaching
Think of our sessions as a training ground. We’ll use proven frameworks like CBT and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) to build mental skills, just like a coach helps an athlete improve their physical ones. It’s active, structured, and focused on results.
A Team Effort
You are the expert on your own life. My role is to bring therapeutic expertise and work with you as a partner. We'll tackle challenges together, making sure you feel understood and empowered throughout the entire process. We're on the same team.
Self-Empowerment
The ultimate goal isn't to keep you in therapy forever. It's to equip you with the understanding and skills to manage life's challenges independently. My job is to make myself redundant by helping you become your own best resource for mental wellbeing.

About
Chris Wilkinson
I'm a qualified psychotherapist with a background in CBT and Compassion Focused Therapy. For years, I've worked with people from all walks of life, but I have a particular passion for helping men navigate the unique pressures they face.
I believe therapy shouldn't be a mystery. My approach is direct, collaborative, and built on a foundation of trust and authenticity. Having seen the power of lived experience in my previous NHS work, I understand the importance of creating a space where you can be open without fear of judgment. When I'm not working, you'll find me outdoors, walking the dog, or spending time with my family.
