About Chris

Chris Stavri is an experienced psychotherapist and author whose work spans more than two decades. He is the author of the self-help book "Know You Can Change: A Path to Psychological and Spiritual Development" and holds MBACP (Accred), an accredited membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). With 22 years of practice, he supports people facing a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, low self-esteem, parenting and career challenges.

He adopts a holistic perspective that attends to mind, body, and spirit while recognising each client as a distinct individual. His approach blends practical therapy skills with attention to personal meaning, aiming to help clients discover balance and greater clarity about the difference between ego-driven patterns and the true self. Sessions are delivered in a warm, empathic, and non-judgmental manner that encourages honest reflection and steady growth.

Chris seeks to equip clients with increased self-awareness, practical coping strategies, and renewed confidence to make decisions that align with their values. He frames counselling as a process rather than a quick fix, working with clients to foster long-term change and more satisfying choices. He looks forward to supporting individuals on their journey toward greater wellbeing and authentic living.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, and then commit to actions that reflect personal values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and for people seeking clearer direction in life. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and can be especially helpful for abandonment, attachment issues, intimacy-related concerns, and relationship difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering practical tools for stress, low mood, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. He collaborates with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so that therapy remains relevant and practical.

Online sessions with licensed professionals can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographical constraints. These options make it easier for clients to access consistent support and to integrate therapeutic work into everyday life while working with a therapist whose approach matches their goals.
