About Chris

Chris Stavri is a seasoned psychotherapist and author with more than two decades of clinical experience. Holding the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - he has written the self-help book "Know You Can Change: A Path to Psychological and Spiritual Development." Over a 22-year career he has supported people through issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, addiction, grief and broader challenges of personal growth.

His practice emphasises a holistic view of wellbeing that addresses mind, body and spirit while recognising each person as an individual with their own history and values. He draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to help clients build self-awareness, strengthen relationships and make choices that align with their deeper sense of self. Sessions are delivered with warmth, empathy and a non-judgmental stance, creating space for honest reflection and gradual change.

Chris frames therapy as an ongoing journey rather than a quick fix, aiming to empower people to increase confidence, manage stress and live more authentically. He works collaboratively with clients to identify practical steps and deeper insights that support lasting development.

Approaches That Guide Work Online and In Session

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose actions that align with their personal values - it can support those coping with anxiety, low mood and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses, offering a path for people dealing with intimacy, abandonment or long-standing trust issues to develop more secure connections.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress while building practical coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Chris Stavri collaborates with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques as therapy progresses and encouraging active participation in the process.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or connect from different locations. Licensed professionals can deliver structured, supportive care remotely, helping clients access consistent guidance and practical strategies without sacrificing continuity of care.
