About Chris
Chris Rose is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with over 10 years' experience. He works with relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, eating and anger problems, career and depression, ADHD, and codependency among other areas.
He uses a person-centred style that keeps the client's concerns central. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people notice what matters to them. Chris aims to help people recognise their patterns and find clearer ways to act on their own behalf.
In the room he draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current ones. He also uses solution-focused methods to identify practical steps and mindful practices to reduce overwhelming thoughts. Existential threads help people consider values and choices when facing major life changes.
Chris has a BSc in Person-Centred Counselling from the University of Brighton and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He keeps learning through further courses and workshops to broaden his approach.
Sessions are straightforward and conversational. People can expect to talk about patterns that repeat in relationships, practical strategies for boundary-setting, and simple mindfulness exercises to manage stress. Chris supports people who want clearer direction and steadier day-to-day coping, and he works collaboratively to set realistic goals.
How sessions work
Approaches in online work and practical benefits
Chris uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when issues recur in close relationships, for example in codependency or difficulty trusting others. He also draws on client-centred principles, which means sessions centre on listening and reflecting so clients can make sense of what they want and need.He uses solution-focused techniques to identify small practical steps people can try between sessions. That approach is useful for setting achievable boundary goals or managing mood and anger. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together; the therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful and then adjust the approach as needed.
For online work confirm the session formats before booking since specific options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, for example by saving travel time, making it simpler to book a short check-in, or allowing sessions during a lunch break. Some people prefer fewer visual demands and opt for audio-only, while others like video for face-to-face interaction; discuss these preferences when arranging appointments so sessions match practical needs.
