About Chris Stavri
Chris brings a holistic orientation that attends to mind, body, and spirit while treating each person as an individual with their own history and values. He works with common issues such as stress and low self-esteem as well as more specific concerns including attachment wounds, intimacy and kink-related matters, caregiving stress, and trauma and abuse. His practice also supports those coping with career transitions, parenting difficulties, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue.
In sessions he creates a warm, nonjudgmental atmosphere that encourages open exploration and increased self-awareness. He helps clients distinguish between ego-driven patterns and a deeper sense of self, aiming to empower people to make choices that align with their values and strengths. Counseling is framed as a journey rather than a quick fix, and Chris focuses on building practical skills, insight, and confidence to support long-term change. BACP denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapeutic Work
Chris draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward a meaningful life. ACT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and chronic stress because it emphasizes practical steps alongside acceptance.
He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. This approach can be especially useful for relationship struggles, intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and patterns of dependency or avoidance.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another toolkit he employs to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to teach concrete strategies for change. CBT is widely used for problems such as panic, sleeping difficulties, low mood, and coping with life transitions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Chris works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts methods so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single model.
Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging - offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or those who live far from major centers. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access regular appointments, and try different session formats to see what works best for each individual.
