About Chris
Counsellor Chris Rose is BACP registered and has practised for 10 years in the United Kingdom. He lists relationship, family and self-esteem among his main concerns and also works with trauma, depression, ADHD and life changes. He describes a person-centred way of working and offers support to people who want to move forward in their lives.
Chris uses a person-centred style that puts the client’s concerns first. Sessions focus on what the individual brings to the room and on practical ways to talk through feelings and decisions. He aims to help people gain greater self-acceptance and clearer next steps rather than to push a set programme.
His training includes a BSc degree in Person-Centred Counselling from the University of Brighton. He says this gave him a foundation in core counselling theories and techniques. He also undertakes ongoing professional development through courses and workshops to keep his practice current.
Issues he lists include intimacy-related problems, attachment and abandonment worries, body image, eating concerns, anger and communication problems. He also mentions blended family issues, caregiver stress, dependency patterns, and separation and divorce as areas he can address.
Chris offers a straightforward, conversational approach. He helps people talk through what matters, set short-term goals and review progress. People who prefer a reflective, person-led way of working may find this approach suits them.
How his approaches work in online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early attachments shape current responses. It can help with trust, abandonment fears and intimacy problems by noticing repeated patterns and trying different ways of relating.Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience in the moment. The counsellor follows what the client brings, reflecting feelings and helping the person make sense of their choices. This approach suits people who want to be heard and to explore their own solutions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which combination of methods fits best, based on needs, goals and preferences. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses so adjustments can be made.
Check the current session options before booking to confirm which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-in sessions when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to use video, or who need sessions that better fit work or caring responsibilities.
