Kristina Matej in therapy with Chris Ward

Therapy is still a taboo subject for many despite its prevalence and indisputable benefits. Hetal and I wanted to show what a therapy session can look like and wanted it to be genuine, so we chose Chris Ward to therapy me for 30 mins on camera and then we discuss the session with Hetal, so Chris is able to explain how he works and Kristina shares what it felt like to participate in the session. The listener is basically a fly on a wall in a therapy room. Chris Ward is a Registered Nurse (Mental Health) and UKASFP Accredited Solution Focused Practitioner. He helps creative people find happiness and success, through his private practice; Chris Ward Solution Focused Services. Chris completed his nurse training in 1996, then worked in various NHS and private hospital settings in several cities until 2009 when he seized the opportunity to apply his skills and experience to help people negotiate the trials and tribulations of Higher Education. He worked at the University of Surrey until 2022. His introduction to Solution Focused Practice in 2017 was through BRIEF, the world’s leading centre for the approach. They awarded him a Certificate in Solution Focused Practice a year later following 8 days training and submission of a written paper. Chris' enthusiasm for and ongoing journey towards mastery of the approach has been fuelled by his membership of the Solution Focused Universe (SFU), a ground breaking online learning community set up and run by his friend and mentor, Elliott Connie. Chris obtained accreditation through the United Kingdom Association for Solution Focused Practice (UKASFP) Instagram: @chrisward_sfs YouTube: @chrisward_sfs Facebook: Chris Ward Solution Focused Services LinkedIn: Chris Ward Website (more information and booking): https://chrisward.life/ Blog: https://keepcalmandsolutionfocused.com/ United Kingdom for Solution Focused Practice (UKASFP): https://ukasfp.site-ym.com/
