About Chris
Chris Stavri is a psychotherapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self esteem, depression and relationship difficulties. He also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, addiction concerns, codependency and intimacy-related issues. Chris works with clients who want clearer boundaries, better communication and steadier emotional responses.
He brings 22 years of clinical experience and holds BACP, which means he is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Chris blends practical talking therapy with reflective work so people can notice patterns and make different choices. Sessions are calm and direct, with space to explore what matters most to the client.
Chris uses several therapeutic approaches depending on the person and the problem. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values. He uses Attachment-Based ideas when early relationships affect current difficulties. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques appear when people need coping skills and emotion regulation.
His style is warm and non-judgemental. He encourages honest talk and steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes. Clients who want both practical tools and deeper reflection often find this helpful.
Away from therapy rooms Chris has written a self-help book called Know You Can Change: A Path to Psychological and Spiritual Development. He aims to support people to increase self-awareness, build confidence and make choices that fit their life goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Chris commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards a valued life while learning to sit with difficult thoughts. He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and behaviour, useful when trust and closeness are a problem. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and rehearse practical changes for mood and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chris will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels workable, then adapt methods as the relationship develops. This is a collaborative process, so plans can change as progress is made.

It can also make brief check-ins easier when a shorter session is helpful. Registered or accredited professionals aim to help people get consistent support that fits everyday routines.
