Christian Minsansa , BACP

Christian Minsansa specialises in supporting people affected by domestic abuse and trauma, helping them explore how relationships influence emotional well-being. He offers counselling to both men and women and works with individuals to make sense of their day-to-day struggles and regain a greater sense of fulfilment.

Christian believes that access to a therapeutic space can be a practical and supportive way to work through difficult feelings. He aims to help clients discover their own answers and to challenge limiting beliefs that can undermine confidence and self-esteem. Previously he offered face-to-face counselling in a relaxed garden room designed to be non-judgemental and conducive to personal work.

Following the pandemic and a period of increased isolation, Christian has shifted to remote-only sessions. He made this change in part to keep counselling accessible to a wider range of people and because of positive feedback from clients who benefited from online work. He continues to provide a calm, supportive environment through remote sessions to help clients build resilience and move forward.

Therapeutic approaches suited to remote counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds and attachment patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses. It helps people understand recurring dynamics, especially around abandonment, trust and closeness, and can be useful when past relationships affect present wellbeing.

Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the core of the process, offering empathic listening and unconditional positive regard so people can explore feelings at their own pace. This approach supports self-esteem, personal growth and the discovery of internal resources.

Solution-Focused Therapy is brief and goal-oriented, concentrating on strengths and practical steps to move forward. It helps clients identify clear, achievable changes and build small, sustainable solutions to current problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christian works with each person to identify which method or combination of methods best fits their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the approach as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments. Remote work can reduce travel time, increase access for people in different locations and support continuity of care, while still allowing licensed professionals to provide structured, focused therapeutic support.
