About Chris

Chris Rose is a counsellor with ten years' experience who helps people work through relationship problems, jealousy, self-esteem struggles and major life changes. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk about trauma, intimacy concerns, eating issues, anger and mood difficulties. Chris aims to help clients find clearer ways forward and greater self-acceptance.

Chris practises in a person-centred way, which means he follows the client’s lead and focuses on what matters most to them. He combines this with approaches that look at attachment patterns and practical solutions to help with day-to-day coping. Sessions are aimed at making small, steady shifts rather than quick fixes.

He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Person-Centred Counselling from the University of Brighton. That BSc introduced him to a range of counselling theories and hands-on techniques he still uses in practice. Chris also keeps his skills current by attending ongoing training and workshops.

Clients describe the work as straightforward and focused on real problems, such as communication breakdown, codependency, parenting strain, and difficulties linked to autism or ADHD. Chris supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family issues and separation.

He works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. If you want to explore whether he is the right fit, it is simple to begin and he will help plan the next steps with you.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Chris draws on attachment-aware work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach can help with intimacy problems, jealousy and repeated communication issues by exploring how people relate to others and themselves.

He also uses a client-centred way of working, which means sessions focus on what the person finds most important. This approach supports people who want a listening, non-judgemental space to talk through grief, low mood or life changes.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Chris will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt methods as the work unfolds. He aims to agree on practical steps and ways of checking progress together.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it straightforward to meet a counsellor who is based elsewhere in the UK or overseas, subject to scheduling and time zones.
