About Chris
Chris Nicholls is a counsellor registered with the BACP with five years' experience. He works with people on stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and a wide range of life difficulties. Sessions are conversational and focused on what the client wants to address.
He approaches therapy as a collaborative process. Conversations are led by the client’s concerns and tempo. Chris uses person-centred ways of working alongside elements from other approaches to offer practical steps and emotional exploration. That can mean short-term problem solving or more in-depth work, depending on what someone needs.
Chris has supported people with trauma, bereavement, ADHD, caring for someone with a terminal illness, relationship and family problems, addiction and issues around identity and intimacy. He aims to blend emotion-focused ideas with mindfulness and solution-focused methods to help people manage symptoms and tackle specific problems.
Sessions are straightforward and interactive. He listens, reflects what he hears and helps people try small changes between meetings. For someone finding social situations or being watched hard, this can include exercises to notice feelings and test new ways of acting in manageable steps.
Practical matters such as cost and scheduling use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session through the See online therapy options button.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Chris blends person-centred work with emotion-focused methods and mindfulness. Person-centred work means the client leads the pace while the counsellor reflects and helps clarify what matters. Emotion-focused ideas help people notice and name feelings so they can be understood and processed. Mindfulness methods teach simple attention practices to manage stress and reduce reactivity.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then agree a way forward together. That makes the process collaborative and adjustable as needs change.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Practical benefits of working remotely include fitting sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed and avoiding travel time. These factors can make it easier to keep regular appointments and to test what works between meetings.
