About Christopher
Christopher "Chris" Rice is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of practice and a BACP credential from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He works with people facing anxiety and panic, depression, grief and low self-esteem. Chris aims to create a calm space where someone can talk through what is worrying them and start to feel more able to manage day-to-day life.
Chris draws on client-centred ideas to listen closely and follow the person's pace. He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, to look at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and moods. Sessions mix open conversation with practical techniques to reduce symptoms and improve coping skills.
He has experience helping people with a wide range of concerns, including relationship strain, work stress, sleep problems, addictions and transitions. The biography also records work with neurological conditions such as autism, ADHD, traumatic brain injury and epilepsy, which informs a flexible approach to different needs.
Chris describes his role as supportive and collaborative. He aims to help people notice patterns in thinking, try small behavioural changes, and build confidence over time. The tone is straightforward and encouraging for someone who may be unsure about starting therapy.
To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How Chris blends client-centred work and CBT online
Chris uses client-centred ideas to make sessions feel like a space where the person leads the conversation and is listened to without judgement. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through painful events, grief or low self-esteem and wants time to be heard.He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behaviour changes. CBT offers clear, practical techniques for anxiety, panic and mood problems, such as testing anxious predictions and building coping skills.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and help decide whether more listening, practical CBT techniques, or a blend of both makes sense. That choice is collaborative and can change as you progress.
