Hi, I’m Chris Poundwhite.

I help people to:

  • Gain greater security in their relationships

  • Develop a healthier sense of self

  • Improve self esteem

  • Increase emotional regulation

  • Find more meaning in their lives

  • Move past internal blocks

  • & much more


I offer attachment repair in the three pillars treatment model for insecure attachment developed by Dr Daniel P Brown, Dr David S Elliott & co. As presented in their book ‘Attachment Disturbances in Adults: Treatment for Comprehensive Repair’, I provide this treatment model to take clients on their journey from insecure attachment to earned secure attachment, with all the many benefits to life that come along the way.

I also draw on a number of other healing modalities from somatic, cognitive, and meditative healing disciplines, and utilise many of the principles outlined in Dr Gabor Mate’s Compassionate Inquiry approach amongst others. I understand these methods and approaches inside out, having practiced them extensively in my own journey to successfully heal attachment insecurity and a number of related challenges.

I trained to provide IPF with George Haas’s Mettagroup, and continue to attend the IPF Masterclass started by Dr Daniel P Brown to ensure I am up-to-date with the latest developments and best practices for IPF and three pillars treatment more broadly. 

For years I have also led men’s support and connection groups for mental health, coached people in goal setting and habit change, and supported people with behavioural addictions, which gives me a wide range of relevant skills and a unique perspective.

About me

I’ve always had a passion for understanding life and what it means to live well. In my earlier years, I studied literature and philosophy, and worked as a poet and educator helping others to connect with their local natural environments through writing. Eventually, I came to see that our most local environments are actually the emotional landscapes within us, so my move into healing and inner work was a natural transition. In my personal life I’m involved in men’s wellbeing, enjoy exploring the world around me, and absolutely love to climb. I’m married and have a young son. I live on the south coast of England.
