Dr CHRIS ANDREW FFARCS, MRCPsych, BSc (Hons), MA Counselling/Psychotherapy, Dip Sup, UKCP, AC (Association for Coaching)

Founder of Deep Release

Chris trained as a medical doctor and practised in the fields of Anaesthetics, General Practice, Adult and Child Psychiatry before setting up a private practice in London in 1984. As a committed Christian he sought to combine his medical and psychological understanding with spiritual insight. His research brought him into contact with Dr Frank Lake and his interest in pre-and perinatal trauma.

Together with Pauline, he developed Deep Release which adopts an integrative approach to working with early trauma.  We celebrated Deep Release’s 20th Anniversary in 2014.

Chris came back into the NHS as a Consultant Medical Psychotherapist for six years up till 2011  He enjoys teaching a wide variety of subjects and is particularly interested in the concept of Accelerated Education.  He continues to develop the “Integrative Cyclical Dynamic Model” which is an attempt to integrate the many diverse approaches to counselling and psychotherapy and how they each address particular aspects of the body, brain, mind, will and spirit and can be mapped onto a model of the brain.  He believes psychoeducation to be of vital importance in helping clients to understand their own processes and be empowered in their healing journey.  In particular Chris teaches a “user friendly” approach to Neuroscience.

He has now retired from being a doctor but continues his private practice as a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, Supervisor, Trainer and Life Coach.  He is also a Director of Barnabas Counselling Training where he teaches specialist courses on the Diploma course.

He has three grown up children and five grandchildren.
