I’ve worked with many executives, managers and staff members as a treating psychologist, consultant and colleague. Whether you’re a line manager, a CEO, or even a Board member, when you ‘fall from grace’, ‘hit the wall’, ‘stray from the herd’ or even become the target of someone’s malicious intent, it can get really rough. Surviving such dysfunctional experiences can require that you develop specific, specialised skills and situational awareness very quickly - and at a time when you may feel that you’ve got the least capacity to do so.

If this is your circumstance, I’ll bring to bear my Organisational Survival protocol, a specially designed framework to help you cope and even thrive despite adversity. I have created protocols specifically for Executive Survival, Manager Survival and Employee Survival, each of which recognises the all too common experience of people within organisations facing extreme experiences.

For those who wish to take things to the next level, Chris uses his qualifications and experience as a registered Art Therapist, utilising ‘Art in Therapy’ to deep dive with his clients.  Art therapy is a dynamic tool that facilitates deeper exploration of the unconscious mind through creative expression. Unlike "art as therapy," which focuses on emotional release, "art in therapy" uses symbolism and metaphors to uncover and transform psychological patterns. It provides a bridge to the unconscious, bypassing rational defenses and tapping into deeper emotional truths. Art therapy helps identify and transform behavioral patterns, explore recurring life themes, and manage stress. It offers a safe space for emotional exploration and fosters self-discovery, emotional growth, and lasting transformation through a collaborative and non-judgmental therapeutic process.

I employ state of the art technology to further the effectiveness of the therapeutic work we do together. These include: EEG technology, Heart Rate Variability Technology (HRV-T) and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy and Stress Reduction (MBCT-SR). Each of these approaches and technologies vary in their intent and affect. They range from improved focus, affect regulation, clarity of thinking, emotional and psychological stabilisation right through to a significant reduction in stress levels and a deep soothing of your mind.

Hypnotherapy is a useful tool that I employ in conjunction with other therapeutic methods to induce a trance-like state of focus and concentration. While in this state, I assist clients to turn their attention completely inward to find and utilise their natural resources to consider different approaches to issues, to new information, ways of reducing their anxiety in specific and general settings, and to reduce depression and distress.

Since hypnotherapy is an adjunct form of therapy, there are many applications such as treating anxiety, phobias, reducing undesirable spontaneous behaviour and increasing control. It can be used to help improve sleep, communication and relationship issues. Hypnotherapy can also aid in pain management. I also employ guided visualisation strategies which are basically similar techniques to hypnotherapy but without the specific ‘suggestions’.
