Christopher Byrne – Online Counsellor

Something feels persistently off.

You might be managing on the surface. But underneath there’s anxiety, numbness, overthinking, or a sense that you’re performing a version of yourself that doesn’t quite fit. Therapy doesn’t have to be dramatic or clinical. It can simply be a place to slow down and understand what’s really happening.

You don’t need to have it figured out before you get in touch. Sometimes it’s just a quiet feeling that you’re living slightly wrong, and you can’t quite put your finger on why.

  • Anxiety that never quite switches off
  • Feeling emotionally numb or disconnected from the people around you
  • Struggling to open up — even when you want to
  • A sense that your self-worth depends entirely on what you achieve
  • Intimacy or relationship patterns you can’t seem to change
  • Questions about your identity, gender, or sexuality
  • Wondering if you might be autistic or have ADHD — and what that means for you
  • Just a nagging feeling that something needs to change

No scripts.
No jargon.
Just honest conversation.

I won’t give you a worksheet and send you on your way. I work collaboratively — meaning we figure things out together, at your pace, in a way that actually fits your life.

I draw on a range of approaches depending on what you need — person-centred, cognitive, psychodynamic, and somatic — which simply means I have more ways to help depending on what the moment calls for.

You’re the expert on your own life. I’m here to help you find what actually moves things forward.

You can show up as you actually are.

I’m LGBTQ+ and GSRD affirming, and neurodivergent affirming — and I mean that beyond a checkbox on a directory.

Whether you’re navigating questions of identity, gender, or sexuality, or you’re simply looking for a counsellor who won’t make you explain or justify yourself, you’ll find a space here where that’s never required.

I have particular experience supporting clients exploring possible autism or ADHD diagnoses, where questions of identity and meaning often come to the surface in their own particular way.

“I trained with MIND, the mental health charity, and have particular experience supporting people whose sense of self-worth has become tangled up with performance, achievement, or other people’s expectations — a pattern that’s quietly exhausting and more common than most people realise.”

“I’d tried to sort it out myself for years. For the first time I actually felt heard rather than managed.”
