Christopher Jones

I work flexible hours online and face-to-face.

Hello, my name is Christopher Jones.

As an integrative counsellor, I believe that there is not one size that fits all, so I unify a broad number of approaches and tailor my practice to the client’s specific needs.

As a member of the BACP, I work within its ethical framework to ensure that I maintain safe and professional standards.

I have over 10 years of experience working in the helping sector and have provided support to clients from various backgrounds, over the age of 18, with a range of psychological problems. I currently provide counselling services at Islington MIND as well as seeing clients in my private practice in East London.

I provide a safe, supportive, non-judgmental, and confidential environment where clients can comfortably express and explore their concerns, gain insights into their experiences, adjust old patterns, and discover new opportunities. 

Integration

My approach is tailored to each individual's unique needs, drawing from an integrative philosophy that combines Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Humanistic theories.

I prioritise holistic well-being, considering the whole of the client, both mind and body.

I recognise that our mental health does not exist within a vacuum but is impacted by a variety of external forces, such as socioeconomic/cultural factors that may contribute to a client’s struggles.

A major part of this process of integration can be pinned to relationships.

Relationships

The common thread in my work is the significance of relationships, and I approach my work with an interpersonal and intrapersonal focus. This means that I see our very existence as shaped by the connections we have with ourselves, the people, and the objects around us, past and present.

I firmly believe in the healing power of relationships and see many problems as relational in nature. Through the therapeutic relationship, I help clients facilitate change and awareness concerning these issues.

Emphasising the importance of the therapeutic relationship, I offer a complimentary second assessment if necessary, recognising the importance of finding the right counsellor, a process that I understand can be costly for clients.
