About Christopher
Christopher "Chris" Rice is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' practical experience. He helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief and stress, and supports those coping with life changes and issues around self-esteem and motivation. He also works with concerns such as addictions, sleeping problems and relationships, and offers coaching-style support for people seeking clearer direction or life purpose.
Chris uses a mix of Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). In sessions he listens to what matters to the person and then introduces CBT techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. He explains ideas plainly and focuses on small, practical steps that can be tried between meetings.
He has experience supporting people who live with neurological conditions, including autism, ADHD, traumatic brain injury and epilepsy. That background influences how he structures sessions and sets realistic goals that fit each person’s situation. Sessions tend to be straightforward and paced to avoid overwhelming someone who is already under strain.
Chris is clear about the role of thinking patterns in mood and behaviour. He works with people to notice thought patterns, test them, and try alternative ways of responding. The aim is to reduce distressing symptoms and increase the ability to cope with everyday demands.
Reaching out can feel hard, and Chris offers a practical, down-to-earth way of working. To begin, clients use the site process to match and book a first session and then discuss their priorities in the opening meetings.
How Chris uses Client-Centred work and CBT online
Chris draws on Client-Centred principles, which means he gives people space to explain what matters and responds to concerns without rushing. This approach helps clarify which problems to focus on and what the person wants to achieve.He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises. CBT techniques are often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties and problems with motivation or avoidance.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chris will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree together whether more listening-based support or structured CBT work is appropriate. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses and can change over time.
The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Some people prefer shorter or camera-free meetings for practical reasons, and these preferences can be discussed and arranged where supported by the service.
