About Chris

Chris Rose is a counsellor with more than 10 years of practice. He works from a person-centred stance and aims to make people feel welcome and heard. He helps with issues such as relationships, eating and food-related concerns, self-esteem, depression and ADHD.

Chris offers a calm space to talk through what feels hard right now. He focuses on what each person wants to change and supports steps towards those goals. Sessions are designed to help people feel more accepting of themselves over time.

He trained at the University of Brighton and holds a BSc in Person-Centred Counselling. That degree gives him a practical grounding in counselling theory and common approaches used in therapy.

Over a decade of work has included helping people manage trauma, intimacy issues, anger and career stress. He also supports people dealing with attachment concerns, body image and the strain of caregiving. These are often woven into the conversations in session rather than treated in isolation.

Chris keeps his skills current through ongoing training and workshops. He aims for collaboration in sessions, listening first and offering ideas that fit each person. People who prefer a straightforward, empathetic style often find his approach accessible.

How his approaches work in online counselling

Chris draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns in close relationships and how earlier connections can affect present feelings. That approach can be useful for intimacy difficulties, abandonment concerns and attachment questions.

He also uses a client-centred stance, which means sessions focus on the person's own priorities and pace rather than following a fixed agenda. This helps when someone wants to work on self-acceptance, eating or body image in a way that feels right for them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chris will discuss options and try different ways of working until something fits. Decisions about goals and methods are made together, based on the person's needs and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and avoid travel time. Many people find this flexibility helps them keep momentum between sessions while focusing on the issues they want to change.
