Christopher Raymond

Hello there, I'm Christopher, and welcome to my profile. Foremost, my work is led by empathy, compassion, careful listening and research. I’m not in the business of judging or advising. You do the bulk of the work, so I have a duty to facilitate the safest and most welcoming environment for you to do it in. I might be the therapist for you, or I might just be the one you see first. Let’s meet, see how we click.

My approach is integrative, combining existential and humanistic thinking, with psychodynamic and person-centred approaches. We can’t afford to be dogmatic, and I don’t think one discipline will wholly cover your unique complexities as a person. But many overlap and blending where relevant or necessary can create a bespoke approach to produce the voltage required to ignite change.  

Our therapeutic relationship will have depth and complexity, ideally, enhancing our connection and my understanding of you. However, if one approach doggedly fails to work, another direction must be taken! I work relationally, not diagnostically. I want to empower you. Reflection needs a sounding board, needs silence – gold dust in the modern world. Perhaps I can be the one to help you find it.
