Chris Eggleton

My experience as a therapist:

As a BACP accredited Integrative counsellor, I have worked with clients in the NHS, voluntary sector and private practice since 2003 to successfully address a wide variety of emotional and psychological issues, such as the challenges of depression, anxiety, abuse, low self-esteem, loss/grief, drug and alcohol addiction.

Working with me: a client-centred approach.

I bring to our work the empathy, acceptance and authenticity that nurtures and enables genuine therapeutic progress.

I work with you both in the ‘here and now’ and with your life experience to truly understand the challenges you may face, so enabling you to achieve both your short-term objectives and the long-term wellbeing you deserve.

As an Integrative counsellor, I am able to call upon my knowledge and significant experience of a number of therapies and to use these in combination appropriate to the specific therapeutic needs that you identify within the process of therapy and optimized to the goals identified by you and the progress thus far achieved.

The theoretical approaches which inform my Integrative work:

The Person-Centred approach provides a therapeutic relationship facilitative and enabling of authentic change and the achievement of our life potential.

The Psycho-dynamic approach can enable transformative insight into the patterns of thought and behaviour that may have served to disrupt our life progress, thus enabling us to move forward re-oriented and with empowering self-awareness.

Cognitive therapy provides structured techniques that allow us to effectively identify and change the unhelpful thought patterns and content that may be contributing to and serving to persist our emotional problems.

DBT is an effective therapeutic approach that provides techniques that can substantially enhance our emotional resilience and so enable us to manage life’s challenges more effectively.

In combination, these complementary approaches may enable transformative therapeutic change and progress.

In summary, I provide, in support of your progress, proven therapeutic approaches, evidence-based techniques and easy to use, effective resources. These, integral to the therapy process, facilitate the insight, clarity of self-perception and lasting change necessary to a truly effective outcome from therapy.

I offer 1-1 sessions via phone or Zoom and face to face sessions at the excellent Self Space therapy rooms in Shoreditch High Street.
