Hello my name is Chris and I want to thank you for taking the time to read my personal Bio. Iam a fully qualified Integrative Counsellor/Psychotherapist to a level 6 BA (Hons) 1st Class Degree standard. I see clients face to face in my home town of Blackpool in the United Kingdom, and also offer Online & telephone Counselling through the betterhelp platform. Im also qualified and certified to work remotely either by video call or telephone as well as live chat. I have had my own practice for just over three years now and it is going very well. I'm also a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP) and have 5 years experience being a psychotherapist. Working Integrative , I can offer many more modalities to tailor therapy more precisely to the needs of the client. Modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to name just a few. I specialize in addiction counselling and Iam myself a recovering alcoholic of 7 years plus, I also have a qualification in Mental Health and I am trauma informed. I can also help in many more scenarios such as Domestic Violence, Self Harm, Suicidal Ideation etc. Any questions please feel free to contact me. Warm wishes Chris Galvin.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
