About Christopher

Christopher "Chris" Rice is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He has four years' experience helping people work through anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. He also supports those coping with grief, low self-esteem and life changes. Chris has worked with people who have neurological conditions, including Autism, ADHD, epilepsy and traumatic brain injuries. He uses what he calls a blend of Client-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to structure sessions. That means conversations start from what matters to the individual and can include practical CBT tools where helpful. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps. Chris listens for patterns in thoughts and behaviour and offers techniques to test and change them. He also helps with problems such as sleeping difficulties, addictions, money worries and feeling isolated. People meet him for short-term problem solving or ongoing support to build confidence and coping skills. He explains ideas in plain language and keeps tasks simple so people can try them between meetings. The work is collaborative and paced to what feels doable. If someone is unsure where to begin, Chris suggests a first meeting to set goals and decide whether CBT techniques or a more client-led approach will fit best. He guides people through the practical next steps and encourages small changes that add up over time.

How Chris uses client-centred work and CBT online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The therapist follows what matters to you and helps you make sense of difficult feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers hands-on techniques to test and change unhelpful patterns. Finding the right approach is collaborative. Chris will talk with you about your goals and preferences, then try methods that suit your situation. That might mean mostly listening and reflecting, or adding CBT exercises to try between sessions. Online therapy can make it easier to fit help into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins around work breaks and make regular sessions simpler to schedule. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals use online work to offer focused sessions, practical tools and ongoing review so progress can be checked and adjusted as needed.
