Christopher Sarfo, BACP

Christopher Sarfo is a professional counsellor with seven years of clinical experience who works in a person-centred way while drawing on behavioural and integrative techniques as needed. He has supported adults, children and couples across a range of settings, offering focused work in relationship and marriage counselling as well as individual therapy. Christopher adapts his approach to fit each person - matching methods to the client’s needs, life circumstances and therapeutic goals.

His practice often combines person-centred principles with cognitive behavioural tools and psychodynamic ideas when appropriate, helping clients explore patterns of thought, feeling and connection. He is experienced at identifying and arranging onward support when additional resources are needed, and he follows the professional standards set out by his membership body. Christopher is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists and provides an ethical framework for practice.

Warm and pragmatic in style, Christopher offers tailored care that aims to balance emotional understanding with practical strategies. He welcomes people seeking help with relationships, stress, trauma, grief, depression, addictions and other life challenges, and works collaboratively to find the right path forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Christopher blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-informed perspectives to support people in online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a compassionate, non-judgemental space where the person’s own goals and priorities guide the work - this approach suits those seeking greater self-understanding and emotional support. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical ways to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and can be especially useful for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems. Attachment-Based approaches look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with relationship issues, intimacy difficulties and feelings of insecurity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christopher works collaboratively with each person and, together, they explore which methods fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. Adjustments are made over time so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Christopher is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and differing comfort levels. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from different locations and to continue consistent care when in-person meetings are impractical.
