About Christopher

Christopher Sarfo is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of practice. He works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and anger.

He uses person-centred ideas alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-focused thinking. Sessions are practical and conversational. He listens for what matters to the client and then helps shape steps they can try between meetings.

Christopher has experience across different settings and with a range of concerns. That background means he can help people connect current problems to past patterns, and spot simple behaviour changes that reduce overwhelm. He pays attention to how relationships influence mood and reactions.

When anger is part of the picture he helps people notice triggers and patterns. He works on ways to respond differently in tense moments and on repairing relationships after arguments. Practical tools and short experiments at home are part of his approach.

Clients can expect therapy that combines reflective listening with concrete strategies from CBT and mindfulness. Christopher also draws on attachment-informed ideas to understand emotional responses in relationships. He will suggest onward support when needed and follows the BACP Ethical Framework.

To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. This initial step gives space to outline concerns and agree a working plan together.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. It helps people understand why they respond strongly in certain relationships and supports changing those patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and the client's own goals. The counsellor follows the client's lead while reflecting feelings and priorities, which can clarify what to work on next. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical exercises and short experiments to test different responses to stress, anxiety and anger. Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss options with the client, consider goals and personal preferences, and agree a plan together rather than imposing a single method. Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can be easier to arrange around work breaks and may allow shorter check-ins when that suits. The biography does not specify which online or in-person formats are offered, so confirm the current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can then help match the format and approach to the client's needs.
