My Approach

My approach is relational and integrative. I believe that meaningful change often develops through a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, understood, and accepted.

I draw on Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Constructivist, and Cognitive Behavioural approaches, adapting therapy to your individual needs. Together, we can explore your experiences, develop greater self-awareness, and work towards lasting change.

About Me

Hello, I’m Chris, an integrative psychotherapist based in Coventry and Leamington Spa. At Reflective Presence Therapy, I offer a calm, supportive space where you can pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most to you.

You may be facing a significant life changes - such as bereavement - feeling stuck in relationships, or struggling with anger, low mood, or self-esteem. If things feel overwhelming or uncertain, you’re not alone - and you don’t have to work through it on your own.

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

I view anger as an important emotion that can signal unmet needs, unresolved experiences, or difficulties in expressing feelings safely and effectively. For many, however, anger can carry associations of shame or elicit fear of harm and an instinctive need for safety. Through prioritising a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship, I will work with you to understand the roots of your anger, recognise patterns in how it is experienced or expressed, and develop healthier ways of responding.
I believe anxiety is often more than a collection of symptoms; it can be connected to past experiences, current relationships, overwhelming life circumstances, or patterns that have developed over time. It can be both unconscious and within your awareness, and affect your body and mind. Together, we can explore the underlying sources of anxiety, increase awareness of unhelpful patterns, and develop new ways of relating to your thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
I understand that grief is a deeply personal experience that can affect every aspect of life. For some people, feelings of loss may remain overwhelming or difficult to process long after the bereavement itself. I provide a compassionate space to explore your loss, make sense of complex emotions, and understand how grief is affecting you. Together, we can honour the significance of your loss while supporting you in adapting to life and maintaining a meaningful connection with what has been lost.
I am particularly interested in supporting new fathers and fathers-to-be. Becoming a dad can be a rewarding yet challenging transition, bringing up memories of how you were parented and what it means to be a father at a time of change and new responsibilities. I offer a supportive space to explore the pressures and expectations of fatherhood, including anxiety, stress, overwhelm, changes in relationships, or adjusting to a new sense of self.
I understand many of the personal and professional challenges that can arise during training, including self-doubt, academic pressures, working with clients, and balancing personal growth with professional development. I offer a reflective space to explore your experiences, deepen self-awareness, and develop confidence in your emerging therapeutic identity. Together, we can work with the emotional and relational aspects of training, helping you feel more grounded, resilient, and connected to your emerging way of being as a therapist.
