About Christopher
Christopher "Chris" Rice is a BACP counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. He uses straightforward talking and practical techniques so people can feel steadier day to day. Chris aims to create a calm space where people can speak openly about what is hard for them.
He draws on client-centred work to listen and reflect what matters to each person. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, bringing in simple tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings as well as on talking through difficult feelings.
Chris has four years of counselling experience. He has seen people facing depression, panic, bereavement, workplace stress and social anxiety. He has also worked with people who have neurological conditions such as autism, ADHD, traumatic brain injury and epilepsy.
People come to him with a wide range of life problems, including relationship difficulties, chronic pain or long-term illness, isolation, and money and financial issues. He helps people look at patterns in thinking and behaviour and decide on practical changes that feel manageable.
Chris keeps the work collaborative. He will talk with clients about goals and adapt the pace to what feels helpful. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the scheduling process on the site.
How Chris Uses CBT and Client-Centred Work Online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and reflecting what matters to the person seeking support. It helps people feel heard and clarify what they want to change or understand about their life.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and for managing stressful thoughts about money or life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Chris will talk with each person about goals and try different techniques to see what fits best. That decision is collaborative and adjusts as the sessions progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, quieter routines and family life, and it can reduce travel time. Some sessions may also involve shorter check-ins or written exercises between appointments to keep progress moving.
