About Chris
Chris Nicholls is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of clinical practice. He has carried out more than 3,000 sessions and works with people facing issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem problems, depression, addictions, parenting strain and anger.
He describes therapy as a team effort. He aims to walk alongside people as they talk through what is happening and help them choose the pace of work. Sessions are person-centred in style with a practical focus on what the client wants to change.
Chris combines person-centred work with elements from solution-focused approaches, mindfulness practice and emotionally-focused ideas. He uses these methods flexibly to reflect a person’s priorities rather than following a single formula. That means sessions can range from short problem-solving conversations to deeper emotion-focused exploration.
He has experience supporting people through bereavement, trauma, illness, ADHD-related challenges and caregiver stress. He also lists work around intimacy, relationships, communication problems and anger management among his practice areas.
Chris holds a master’s degree in Emotion-Focused Therapy and uses that alongside his wider clinical experience. He asks people to select an online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session, so administration is straightforward before the work begins.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. Online sessions using this approach tend to be conversational, helping people name what matters and choose the pace of change.Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work with strong feelings. In remote sessions this often means pausing to notice bodily sensations and naming emotions, which can help with issues like anger, grief and attachment struggles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client and try different ways of working until a good fit emerges. That collaborative stance means the method can shift from short practical steps to deeper emotional work as needed.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or sessions that avoid travel time. It can also allow a quieter setting for longer emotion-focused conversations or the choice to have less visual demand if that suits the person.
