About Christopher

Christopher "Chris" Rice is a counsellor with four years' practical experience. He uses simple, direct conversations to help people who feel overwhelmed by stress or anxiety. He aims to be approachable and straightforward so you can talk about what's bothering you without judgement.

Chris works from a mix of client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural tools. Sessions start by hearing your story and what you want to change. Then he helps you spot unhelpful thought patterns and try small, practical steps to feel better.

Background and approach

People contact him for worries such as panic, low mood, grief, sleep difficulties, and problems with confidence or motivation. He also supports those dealing with relationship strains, life changes, addiction concerns, and ongoing health or pain issues. Chris has experience supporting people with neurological differences and related challenges.

He brings patience and clear explanations when that context is part of a person's struggles. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Chris works within the United Kingdom and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

If you are ready to begin, the process involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits your needs.

How Chris uses collaborative approaches online

Chris works with two main approaches. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping you make sense of your feelings in your own words. This approach suits people who need space to be heard and to explore what matters to them.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going. It involves practical exercises and small experiments you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Chris will discuss what you want to achieve and suggest ways to proceed. Together you will try methods and adjust them based on what helps most, making decisions in collaboration rather than following a fixed plan.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video allows face-to-face conversation; phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited; live chat and text let you check in quickly or write things down. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep working on goals between sessions.
