CHRIS WAKE
Online consultations

I work with couples and families online. I love helping people improve their relationships - creating a space to identify what is causing their issues and learning ways to re-connect. I have helped people in relationship manage a range of difficulties, including disconnection and conflict; struggles with intimacy; expressing emotions; the effects of past trauma; past hurts including affairs; and living with mental health challenges in a family. 

I'm a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and Association of Christians in Counselling (ACC) - and comfortable discussing issues of faith and spirituality where that is relevant. 

Training and experience

I have an MSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, which trained me in Person Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Attachment Theory. I have subsequently completed post-qualifying training in Systemic/ Family Therapy, addictions counselling and Emotionally Focussed Therapy (EFT) for couples. I'm also a Registered Mediator with the Civil Mediation Council (CMC).
