Mr Christopher Gore

Psychotherapist

My name is Chris Gore and I am a BPC registered Psychodynamic therapist with over 25 years experience of working with individuals and groups in many different settings. I offer short or longer-term Psychotherapy to individuals. This is often a once weekly commitment for 50 minutes or can be twice weekly.

About Me

Chris Gore is a BPC registered Psychodynamic therapist with over 25 years of experience. He helps individuals explore their inner world. Chris offers short or longer-term psychotherapy, with sessions lasting 50 minutes, typically once weekly. This dedicated time can also be twice weekly. His approach is ideal for those seeking to make sense of past experiences and current challenges.

Approach

Work unfolds in steady, weekly sessions—often in my Guildford consulting room or by secure online video in English—where I listen closely to the rhythms behind what you say. I help you trace recurring feelings, link current difficulties to earlier relational patterns, and use gentle challenge alongside careful reflection so discovery feels manageable between meetings. People who have wrestled with shame, addiction, loss or relationship pain often find this paced, exploratory way of working allows clearer choice and calmer presence.
