Chris Rose, BACP

Chris Rose works with people facing relationship strain, self-esteem difficulties, trauma and abuse, life changes, intimacy problems, eating concerns, anger, career issues, depression and ADHD. He also helps with attachment and abandonment worries, blended family challenges, body image and parenting stress. Chris is introduced here so readers know who will listen carefully and without judgement.

Chris offers a calm, person-centred approach that focuses on what matters to the individual. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. He aims to help people make changes they can keep in day-to-day life rather than relying on jargon or one-size-fits-all tools.

In practice he draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. He also uses solution-focused methods to identify small steps that move a person toward clearer goals. Mindfulness techniques are included when they help reduce reactivity and increase awareness.

Chris has a BSc in Person-Centred Counselling from the University of Brighton and ten years of counselling experience across a range of concerns. He keeps his work up to date by attending courses and workshops to sharpen his skills.

People who choose Chris can expect a warm, steady presence and practical conversation about next steps. He works with straightforward language and offers a mix of short-term and longer-term options depending on what the person wants to achieve.

How Chris’s approaches work online

Chris uses attachment-based work to help people see how past relationships shape current patterns. This approach looks at emotional bonds and helps people find different ways to connect and respond when relationships feel difficult.

He also works in a client-centred way that puts the person’s experience at the heart of each session. That means conversations follow what matters to the client, with the counsellor offering acceptance and careful listening rather than directing the process.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. Chris will discuss what feels most useful based on the person’s goals, preferences and the issues they bring. Therapy can shift over time as needs change.

Online sessions can be done by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversational experience, phone calls can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is low, live chat works for shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when circumstances change.
