Christian Minsansa, BACP

Christian Minsansa offers focused support for people affected by domestic abuse, trauma, and relationship difficulties. He works with both men and women, helping them to explore the effects that abusive or traumatic experiences have had on their lives and relationships. He also provides counselling for a range of day-to-day struggles, supporting clients to discover their own answers and to regain a sense of purpose and fulfilment.

Christian describes therapy as a supportive space where people can make sense of difficult feelings and gradually rebuild confidence. He has previously welcomed clients to a calm counselling room tucked in his garden, a nonjudgemental environment used to address issues such as self-esteem and limiting beliefs. In recent years he has shifted to remote work, having seen the value of online sessions during the pandemic and received positive feedback from clients who found this format helpful.

Now offering sessions remotely to keep counselling accessible, he aims to tailor his approach to each person who seeks help. He holds BACP membership, which indicates affiliation with a recognised professional counselling association.

Attachment and Solution-Focused Support Delivered Online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and feeling safe with others. It can help people understand patterns of connection, abandonment fears, and attachment issues that affect close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, using empathy and nonjudgemental listening to help someone explore their feelings and find their own solutions; this approach is often useful for building self-esteem and working through grief or life changes. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and immediate goals, helping clients identify small, achievable changes that lead to progress with issues like stress, anxiety, and relationship problems.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christian will work with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt techniques to find the best fit for their situation. The aim is to develop a therapeutic plan together rather than impose a single method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit counselling into busy lives and to access support from different locations. For many people this flexibility improves consistency of attendance and helps maintain momentum between sessions.
