About Christopher
Christopher "Chris" Rice is a counsellor who focuses on practical support for everyday problems. He uses client-centred listening combined with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people move forward. Chris works with issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and low self-esteem, and he pays particular attention to concerns commonly raised by men. He holds BACP accreditation, which appears as BACP in his profile.
Before becoming a counsellor Chris spent time working with people facing a range of life challenges. He has four years of experience supporting clients with relationship difficulties, work stress, panic and social anxiety. He also has experience working with people who have neurological conditions, including autism, ADHD, traumatic brain injury and epilepsy.
In sessions he begins by listening so the person feels heard. The client-centred part of his work means the pace and topics are guided by the person in front of him. He then uses cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle thought patterns and behaviours that keep problems going.
Practical tools are part of his approach. That can mean trying short exercises between sessions, learning ways to manage mood and building clearer routines for sleep and daily life. He explains ideas in plain language and keeps work straightforward.
Chris aims to be supportive and collaborative. He encourages people to take small steps and notices progress along the way. To start, readers are asked to use the site’s matching process to connect and schedule with him.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy is built around listening and following the person’s lead. It focuses on understanding feelings and helping people feel heard, which can make it easier to talk about difficult topics online. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change routines and mood. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues and unhelpful thinking patterns.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how comfortable the client feels with different methods, and together they will pick techniques that fit the person’s needs. That collaborative approach helps shape whether sessions use more talking, practical exercises, or short between-session tasks.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins during a work break, or suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, readers should confirm which options are offered before booking. In conversation the therapist can also suggest how to make sessions work around daily routines and commitments.
