Chris Stavri is a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor with over 25 years of experience helping people understand themselves more deeply and create meaningful, lasting change.
The Tree of Life Model for Psychotherapy, developed by Chris Stavri, is an original therapeutic approach that integrates modern psychotherapy with the wisdom of the Tree of Life.
Understanding the Tree of Life Model
The Tree of Life Model helps us distinguish between the everyday ego mind, where worry, anxiety, self-criticism and recurring relationship patterns often arise, and a deeper level of awareness, which we call the Higher Self.
From this perspective, we can become more able to observe our thoughts and emotions, recognise recurring patterns, make conscious choices and respond to life’s challenges with greater clarity and freedom.
The model also recognises a deeper spiritual dimension of ourselves, where greater wisdom, meaning and insight can emerge as we develop a fuller understanding of who we are.
A Space for Reflection and Change
Whether you are experiencing anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, repeated patterns, or simply wish to understand yourself more deeply, psychotherapy can provide a warm, confidential and supportive space in which to explore what is happening in your life.
The work is collaborative and tailored to you as an individual. We may explore present difficulties, past experiences, relationships, thoughts and emotions, while also considering the deeper patterns and meanings that may be shaping your experience.
The aim is to support greater self-understanding, awareness and choice, helping you create meaningful and lasting change in your life.
Contribution Basis
In keeping with the spirit and values of the Tree of Life School, individual Tree of Life Model Psychotherapy is offered on a contribution basis.
Rather than charging a fixed fee, you are warmly invited to make a contribution that reflects the value you have received from your session and your own circumstances.
Your contribution also helps support the continuing development of the Tree of Life School and enables us to make this work available to others.
Contribution-based Tree of Life Model Psychotherapy places are limited. The information you provide in this enquiry will help us determine whether this form of therapy is suitable for you and whether we are able to offer you a contribution-based place. Not every enquiry will result in a contribution-based place being offered.
