About Christopher Macdonald

Christopher Macdonald is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom, with eight years of clinical practice. He works online and supports people facing a range of life and mental health challenges, drawing on experience with adults, teenagers and children in both one-to-one and group settings.

His clinical journey includes work in an NHS mental health day centre and positions with the charity Mind, where he used WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Planning) to help clients build personalised coping strategies. Early intervention work with Place2Be, providing counselling to primary school children, reinforced his belief in supporting emotional wellbeing across the lifespan and shaped his understanding of how childhood experience influences later life.

Christopher’s training in person-centred counselling places the client at the centre of the therapeutic process. He approaches each person as the expert on their own experience and aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can explore difficult feelings. Alongside listening and empathy, he collaborates with clients to identify goals and practical strategies to support change and resilience.

Now offering flexible online appointments, Christopher aims to make therapy accessible and adaptable to individual needs. He combines his background in mental health services and early intervention with a focus on building personalised plans that support recovery and personal growth.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?



Many people consider online therapy when they want support but need more convenience or flexibility in how they meet with a therapist. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy is widely used and can be an accessible option that fits different lifestyles.

One of the main benefits is the flexibility to choose the communication style that works best - whether that is a video call, a phone conversation, live chat, or ongoing text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into work, family commitments, or other daily routines.

Licensed professionals provide care through these remote formats, and clients can change therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many people, online work with a therapist offers a practical and effective way to engage in the therapeutic process while balancing other responsibilities.
