About Chris Allen

Chris Allen is a person-centred counsellor and therapist based in Stockport, Greater Manchester. He brings three years of clinical practice to his work and has run his own practice for the past year. He holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - indicating his registration with that professional body.

He works with people facing a variety of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, loss and death, trauma, and ongoing low mood. As a male counsellor he is particularly committed to encouraging more men to speak about their experiences and feelings rather than keeping them bottled up until they become overwhelming.

Chris adopts a relaxed, supportive and warm therapeutic style grounded in a client-centred approach. He treats each person as an individual, honouring the unique experiences and perspectives they bring to sessions. He accompanies clients through their process of growth using empathy, genuineness and positive regard, supporting them to find their own answers and conclusions.

Therapy with Chris aims to help people process past pain, move on from difficult breakups or job losses, and build a future they choose rather than one shaped by past burdens. He looks forward to meeting prospective clients soon.
