About Chris

Chris Rose works on relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating difficulties, anger, career concerns, depression and ADHD. He uses a person-centred approach and focuses on the needs you bring to counselling. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and has practised for 10 years.

Chris draws on person-centred principles to keep sessions straightforward and focused on what matters to the client. He listens without judging and helps people talk through painful or confusing issues. Sessions aim to clarify goals so clients can take practical steps forward.

His background includes a BSc in Person-Centred Counselling from the University of Brighton, which covered counselling theories and core helping skills. He continues professional development through courses and workshops to keep his practice current.

Chris also works with concerns linked to attachment and abandonment, autism and Asperger Syndrome, avoidant and dependent personality patterns, blended family issues, body image, caregiver stress and codependency. He helps people address communication, commitment and control difficulties that affect relationships and day-to-day life.

In sessions he applies elements from attachment-based, existential, mindfulness and solution-focused ideas when these suit a client's goals. The emphasis is practical: clarifying what the person wants to change and supporting manageable steps toward those aims.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns from close relationships and how these affect current connections; it helps with trust, abandonment and intimacy difficulties. Client-centred work emphasises listening and the client’s own pace, and it supports people working through low self-esteem and life changes. Solution-focused ideas concentrate on practical steps and small changes that move someone towards their goals.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss what feels helpful and try different ideas based on your needs, aims and preferences. This is a collaborative process where goals are checked and adjusted as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of remote counselling can include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. If you need information about the exact session formats offered, please confirm the options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to keep appointments and to check in between other commitments.
