John Christopher - Sheffield Psychotherapist

Hi I'm John. I'm a Sheffield based therapist, who can provide in-person therapy in Sheffield, and also online therapy sessions to clients across the UK, and the rest of the English speaking world. For more info about me, please see my About page.

​

My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), a method underpinned by robust scientific evidence. CBT has a twofold evidence based approach where not only are CBT techniques themselves established through extensive research, but also, as we progress, I employ methods to tangibly track the changes you are making throughout our sessions. As well as cognitive behavioural therapy, my training encompassed psychodynamic theory, which I sometimes draw from in my practice. For more information about CBT, please see the article What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)?​ If you're looking for general info about psychotherapy, please see my blog post What is Psychotherapy? Also, if you'd like to find out what you can expect when attending a psychotherapy session, please read my article What To Expect From a Psychotherapy Session.

The service I provide is geared towards supporting your personal objectives, and goals, ensuring a personalised and meaningful experience. In our sessions, you’ll find a peaceful, understanding setting where your uniqueness is not just accepted, but celebrated. Honouring your individual life choices is key to the therapeutic process we will undertake together.​​​​

Most psychotherapists specialise in one or two areas of practice, dedicating a signifficant portion of their continued professional development to their chosen specialties. If you are seeking online therapy for narcissistic abuse in the UK, or CBT sleep therapy for Insomnia, then finding a therapist with the right training is incredibly important. These areas of practice are not generally part of standard psychotherapy training, and therefor its paramount to find a therapist who regularly engages in continued professional development in these areas. For more information about me, and my recently completed continued professional development, please see my About page.​​​
