Mr Chris Whiteley

Psychotherapist

“I am a BACP accredited counsellor and have been working as a professional therapist for over twenty years.”

About Me

I help individuals navigate life's complex challenges, offering a calm and experienced presence. With over twenty years as a professional therapist and BACP accreditation, I provide a safe space where you can explore your feelings and gain clarity. We work together to find constructive ways forward, building on your strengths. Clients value my grounded, supportive approach, finding sessions a place where they feel truly heard and understood.

Approach

Sessions move at a steady, compassionate pace, allowing space to untangle feelings and make sense of painful or confusing experiences. I offer face-to-face work from Nottingham, meeting adults who want a reliable, calm setting where we can explore patterns linked to anxiety, mood shifts or past abuse. Conversations are collaborative and focused — sometimes gently paced reflection, sometimes practical strategies to try between sessions — always shaped by what you need that week. This way of working suits people seeking steady, experienced support to find clearer ways forward.
