About Chris

Chris Rose is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has practised for 10 years in the United Kingdom. He works with young adults and others on issues such as relationships, self-esteem, depression, ADHD and coping with life changes. He also supports people dealing with intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, eating issues and anger.

Chris uses a person-centred approach that focuses on the person's needs and priorities. Sessions give people space to talk through what feels difficult, and to set practical goals for change. He aims to help people find greater self-acceptance and clearer direction in their everyday life.

His training includes a BSc in Person-Centred Counselling from the University of Brighton. That background underpins a straightforward style that emphasises listening and collaboration rather than jargon. He combines person-centred work with attachment-informed and solution-focused ideas when they fit the person’s goals.

Over a decade in practice has involved working with common problems that affect young adults, such as leaving home, starting work, changing relationships and feeling behind peers. He also addresses more complex situations including attachment difficulties, blended family strain and co-morbid mental health concerns.

Chris continues professional development through courses and workshops. He supports people in English and accepts international clients, and he works with individuals who want to make practical changes in how they cope, communicate and relate to others.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Chris uses a person-centred way of working that emphasises the client's priorities and active listening. This approach helps people clarify what matters to them and set practical next steps for everyday life. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at patterns in relationships and how past experiences shape current reactions, which can help with intimacy and communication issues. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Chris will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. He adapts methods over time so clients can try different ways of working and decide what helps most. Confirm the available session formats before booking to know whether video, phone or messaging options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around study, shift work or commuting, and they can shorten travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. Working online also allows for regular short sessions or longer appointments depending on what suits daily life. Registered or accredited professionals like Chris aim to help people integrate therapeutic work into routines without promising specific outcomes.
