About Christopher
Christopher "Chris" Rice is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of practice and a BACP registration. He offers a calm, listening presence and practical support for people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, low mood or life changes. He aims to help clients find clearer thinking and steadier routines so day-to-day life feels more manageable.
Chris blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. That means he prioritises a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through worries. He also uses simple, practical techniques from CBT to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going.
People come to him for a wide range of difficulties. These include grief, relationship struggles, sleeping problems, addictions, low self-esteem and coping with chronic illness or pain. He also describes experience supporting people who have neurological conditions such as autism, ADHD, traumatic brain injury and epilepsy.
Sessions focus on the issues the client brings. Chris listens first to understand what matters most, then offers straightforward strategies and small steps for change. He frames the work as a collaboration rather than a one-way process.
His style is supportive and down-to-earth. He aims to make the process simple and readable, especially for someone feeling worried or overwhelmed. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and book a session that fits their schedule.
Working online with client-centred and CBT approaches
Christopher uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a listening, empathetic space where people can talk through what matters to them. This approach focuses on understanding the person's experience and responding with warmth rather than direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, involves noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce symptoms and improve mood. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Chris collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. He listens to the difficulties a client brings and then jointly tries out techniques, reviewing what helps and what needs changing.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving travel time and allowing scheduling around work or family commitments. It can also offer simpler options when a shorter check-in is useful or when video is difficult due to bandwidth. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available with this counsellor.
