Chris began participating in this particular physical reality in 1953.  He currently lives and works from his home in Camberley, Surrey.  He has been with his current partner for 20 years, has two beautiful daughters from a previous marriage, and became a grandfather to the excruciatingly cute Georgia at the end of 2004.

Following a 20 year career in the Leisure Industry Chris took the opportunity to pursue his passion for psychology by re-entering full-time education in 1994.  He gained an Honours Degree in Psychology from the University of London in 1997 and a Masters Degree in Organisational and Occupational Psychology from the University of Surrey in 1998.  He is a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society and abides by their Code of Ethics and Conduct.
The practice of counselling others with psychological and emotional problems began on an informal basis during his time in management within the Leisure Industry.  On completion of his academic studies his intention was to continue helping others on a more formal basis; however, although familiar with various mainstream and alternative approaches such as Psychoanalysis, Rogerian Counselling, cognitive-behavioural therapy, Erhart Seminar Training, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Psychosynthesis, none particularly impressed as an ideal model for establishing and maintaining a sense of well-being.
During further research into Eastern medicinal practices in 1999, Chris came across EFT - Emotional Freedom Techniques - an approach to healing that comes under the umbrella discipline of Energy Psychology (EP).  The research, study, and introduction of EP methods into his counselling practice begun in 2000 have revealed a truly revolutionary advance to the healing experience.  Exercises and methodologies from EP and its sister discipline Energy Medicine have been blended together to not only assist the client in any healing required but also to empower them to better control their own health.
The Counselling for your Self approach is a developing process that has adopted an Integral Approach to health and healing.  This means that Chris has ‘cherry-picked’ the most productive elements from his wide knowledge of psychotherapeutic practices and Mind-Body Medicine and continues to incorporate leading edge modalities.  The EP approaches alone contain features from cognitive-behavioural therapy, NLP, EMDR, and Eastern traditional meridian manipulation therapies.  In 2003 he introduced the EmoTrance procedure to his practice and this has proved to be highly advantageous to many clients.  A further piece in the jigsaw of assisting people to regain their sense of well-being was added in the summer of 2007 when Chris completed Dr. Brian Weiss’s ‘Professional Training in Past Life Regression Therapy’ at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY.
At the beginning of 2008, following his experiences with clients undergoing Regression, and study of recent material coming out of the metaphysical field, Chris has begun to broaden the Counselling for your Self approach to include more than simply resolution of health issues.  Clients can choose to go beyond the balancing of their individualised self’s energies and explore the breadth of their Whole Self’s totality.  This form of counselling is more commonly described as ‘spiritual awakening’ or the ‘discovery of one’s spiritual being’.
