About Christopher

Christopher "Chris" Rice works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and life changes using client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience in counselling.

Chris combines a person-centred way of working with practical CBT techniques. He listens to what matters to the person in front of him and uses straightforward strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Sessions are focused and conversational rather than lecturing.

He has worked with people facing anxiety and panic, depression, relationship and work difficulties, social anxiety, bereavement, motivation and confidence problems. He also has experience supporting people with neurological conditions such as autism, ADHD, traumatic brain injury and epilepsy.

In practice he aims to help people understand how their thoughts affect feelings and actions, and then to try small changes that make everyday life easier. That can mean learning simple CBT exercises, practising new ways of communicating, or setting manageable goals to rebuild confidence.

Chris presents as calm and direct in session, offering practical suggestions alongside open listening. He sees counselling as a place to talk things through, test ideas and work on clear steps for change. To begin, clients are asked to follow the site's matching steps and book a first session.

How his approaches work for online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says so they can feel heard and clarify their own goals. It is useful for matters like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to try out new ways of responding. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods to use based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and the tools used.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes using written exercises and worksheets straightforward during or between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their methods to suit practical needs while keeping the work focused on agreed goals.
