About Christopher
Christopher "Chris" Rice is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem and the pressures of life change. He also supports people dealing with relationship problems, sleep difficulties, addiction concerns and coaching-style goals.
Chris uses person-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches to guide sessions. He listens to what matters most and introduces practical CBT techniques when those tools seem helpful. Sessions are straightforward and focused on small, manageable steps.
He has experience working with people who have neurological conditions such as autism, ADHD, traumatic brain injury and epilepsy. That background informs how he adapts pace, communication and techniques to individual needs.
Clients can expect a relaxed style that balances listening with practical exercises. Chris will talk through thoughts and behaviours and help people try different ways of coping. The emphasis is on everyday problems and skills that can fit into a busy life.
Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment through the online booking flow.
How his approaches translate to online work
Chris uses client-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy in straightforward ways. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening closely and responding to what the person says, which helps people talk through identity, relationship and life-transition concerns. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Chris will discuss goals and preferences, then suggest techniques or ways of working to try together. That choice is reviewed as therapy continues so methods can change if they do not fit the person's needs.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around study, work and busy days. Online appointments can make it easier to attend without travel and to schedule shorter check-ins when needed. The biography does not list supported session formats explicitly, so confirm current session options before booking to know whether phone, video or another format is offered.
