I offer online sessions via Zoom or WhatsApp video or Teams, and also have limited availability for face-to-face appointments in Blackpool. Online therapy can be a great option if you're seeking flexibility or prefer to work together from the comfort of your own space.
Working Hours:
My practice is open Monday to Saturday, with both daytime and some evening sessions available. I aim to be as flexible as possible to accommodate different schedules. Once we鈥檝e agreed to work together, we鈥檒l find a regular time that works best for you.
All messages and enquiries are answered within 24 hours wherever possible. I offer a free, no-pressure 15-minute phone or video consultation so you can get a sense of whether I might be the right therapist for you.
Time Off Notice:

I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, especially if you're unsure where to begin. My goal is to offer a welcoming, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make sense of whatever you're facing.
Please don鈥檛 hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or would like to arrange an initial chat.
About me and my therapy practice
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but it might be the most important one you take for yourself. I鈥檓 Chris Galvin, an Integrative psychotherapist with a person-centred core. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore whatever you鈥檙e going through. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction, loneliness, or just feel stuck in life, therapy can help you make sense of things and move forward.
I specialise in addiction and recovery, drawing from both professional experience and my own journey as a recovering alcoholic. I understand how isolating and overwhelming it can feel when you鈥檙e facing inner battles that others can鈥檛 see. You don鈥檛 have to face them alone. Together, we can work through difficult emotions, unhelpful patterns, and past experiences to help you reconnect with who you are and what you need.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to you. Therapy isn鈥檛 about being 鈥渇ixed鈥 it鈥檚 about finding clarity, building resilience, and creating lasting change. I offer sessions online via WhatsApp or Zoom, making therapy more accessible and comfortable from wherever you are.
If something here resonates with you, I invite you to reach out. It鈥檚 okay not to have all the answers, all you need is a willingness to begin.
Practice description
My private practice offers a calm, confidential space where your thoughts, feelings, and experiences are valued and understood. My name is Chris Galvin, and I鈥檓 an Integrative Psychotherapist offering online therapy for adults seeking clarity, support, and emotional healing. I also offer face to face sessions within the Blackpool area, whether at my location or yours. No matter if you're navigating addiction, anxiety, low self-worth, relationship struggles, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life, I鈥檓 here to help you feel heard and supported.
With a person-centred foundation, I tailor each session to meet your unique needs, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches to suit you 鈥 not the other way around. I specialise in working with addiction and recovery, and as a recovering alcoholic myself, I bring both lived experience and clinical training to the work we do together. This allows me to meet clients with deep empathy, free from judgment or assumption.
My practice is entirely online, offering flexibility and comfort from wherever you are. Sessions are held via Zoom or WhatsApp video call, making therapy more accessible, especially for those with busy lives or those who prefer to engage from a familiar space. My clients often describe our sessions as a grounding experience where they can be completely themselves.
If you're feeling lost, stuck, or simply ready for something to change 鈥 my practice offers a space for you to slow down, reflect, and begin that process. You鈥檙e not alone in this, and I鈥檇 be honoured to walk alongside you.
My first session
First session is an initial consultation to see what issues you are facing and to see if I can work within my competency to help you. Also this gives us both an opportunity to see if we can work with and feel comfortable with each other and I can answer any questions you may have about therapy and how it works. The first session is expected to last around 30 minutes and will be free from charge.
