About Christopher

Christopher Sarfo works with stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns using person-centred and behavioural approaches. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years of experience.

Christopher offers practical talking therapy that aims to help people make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small changes that can reduce distress. He uses person-centred listening alongside cognitive and behavioural techniques to help with patterns of thought and action.

He has worked in a range of settings and has experience supporting adults with trauma, grief, addictions and self-harm thoughts. He also works with issues around intimacy, communication problems, fatherhood and multicultural concerns. Eating and sleeping problems, anger and low self-esteem are within his practice too.

Christopher uses approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness in day-to-day work. He adapts what he offers to each person, drawing on different methods to suit the focus of the sessions.

He follows the BACP Ethical Framework in his practice and aims to arrange onward support when that is appropriate.

To begin, he asks people to describe their current difficulty so that the first sessions can clarify goals and practical next steps.

How his approaches work in online counselling

Christopher commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in his work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people reflect on their own thoughts and feelings, which can be useful for relationship, parenting and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, test different ways of working and agree what helps best. This is a collaborative process where methods are adjusted to fit the person’s needs and preferences.

Do check which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can help fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins and remove travel time. They can also make it easier to keep appointments from different locations or time zones. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors using these approaches, can support the practical and emotional work via remote sessions when that suits the client.
