About Christopher
Christopher "Chris" Rice is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression, and those coping with life changes or addiction. He also supports people with sleep problems and relationship concerns and offers coaching-style work where appropriate.
Chris uses straightforward talking therapy alongside practical exercises. He combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps that can be practised between meetings.
He has experience helping people who live with neurological conditions such as autism, ADHD, traumatic brain injury and epilepsy. That background informs how he adapts pace, explanation and techniques to suit different ways of thinking and processing information.
Chris aims to make the work direct and practical. Conversations cover what people want to change, what gets in the way, and what can be tried next. He uses clear tools from CBT alongside person-centred discussion to keep sessions goal focused.
People who choose Chris can expect short-term plans and follow-up tasks so learning carries over into daily life. He asks about current difficulties, looks at thinking patterns that keep problems going, and helps build new routines and skills to reduce symptoms and improve everyday functioning.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Christopher uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours; this involves practical exercises, thought records and behavioural experiments that can be set as tasks between sessions. He also uses Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening and reflecting so people can talk through their concerns and decide goals for the work.Finding the best approach tends to be collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then agree on techniques to try. Over a few sessions they review what helps and adjust the plan together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into weekly life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins at a convenient moment. It also supports using worksheets and screen-sharing during sessions so practical CBT tools can be reviewed together. Registered or accredited professionals typically aim to match length and timing of sessions to a client's routine, helping the work fit around work, study or caregiving commitments.
