Chris Bristow offers professional counselling help and support from therapy rooms near St Albans to individuals and couples of any orientation experiencing problems with relationships, sex life or eating patterns.

  • Do your relationships always follow the same destructive pattern?
  • Is communication with your partner strained or maybe even non-existent?
  • Do more criticisms come your way than compliments?
  • Does your partner shut down and go cold on you?
  • Are you suffering from the aftermath of an affair?
  • Do you say what you think your partner wants to hear for the sake of a quiet life?
  • Are your requests for help and support dismissed as nagging?
  • Does your partner make all the right noises but never actually fulfills a promise?
  • Do you row frequently, or do arguments between you ever get out of hand?
  • Does your relationship feel it may be heading towards break up?
  • Do you keep going from one unsatisfactory relationship to another?

  • Does your life feel overwhelmed by feelings of jealousy, lack of confidence or competitiveness?

  • Has your sex life lost its sparkle or frequency rate?
  • Is a specific sexual problem making you or your partner anxious?
  • Are you addicted to internet pornography or high-risk sexual behaviour?


  • Are you obsessed with your shape and weight?
  • Are you unhappy with your body?
  • Are you obese, anorexic, or bulemic?


    • If you answered YES to any of the above then Chris Bristow can help.


    couples counselling st albans #02Hello, I'm Chris, a qualified Relate relationship counsellor and sex therapist, a qualified eating disorder practitioner and member of both the Experienced Counsellors Network and Couples Counselling Network. My details are listed with the Counselling Directory, on the Holistic Community website and can also be found via the Find A Therapist section of 247coaching.com and in the The UK Directory of Counselling and Psychotherapy

    As a counsellor, psychosexual therapist and couples counsellor I provide confidential non-judgemental support during times of difficulty, transition or crisis, by making the time and space available to explore issues that underpin feelings of anxiety, fear, disturbance or trauma.

    I also offer a warm, reliable and therapeutic relationship and I work at a pace that is negotiated with you to ensure that you feel safe and comfortable.

    My work focuses on helping you to get in touch with, and value, your inner resources to help problem-solve from a position of personal power and strength.

    I have a long and successful track record of helping clients become more empowered to adopt new coping strategies for themselves in order to change unhelpful or destructive behavioural patterns by letting go of deeply-embedded beliefs, hurts and conflicts .

    My private counselling, sex therapy and eating disorder practice covers Hertfordshire/North London and can include daytime home visits.

    It is my policy to see clients within a few days under normal circumstances. I operate principally from comfortable therapy rooms in the village of Sandridge, near St Albans with free off-street parking.
