Christopher "Chris" Rice

Christopher "Chris" Rice is a counsellor with four years of practice in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and loss, and he also helps with self-esteem and life transitions. Chris uses straightforward language in sessions and aims to make talking about difficult issues easier.

He has experience supporting people with neurological conditions such as autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, traumatic brain injuries and epilepsy. That background informs a practical, patient approach when conversations need adjusting to a person’s pace or communication style.

Chris draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where a person leads the conversation. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, bringing in techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, achievable changes.

In a typical meeting he will listen, reflect what you say and offer simple tools you can try between sessions. Sessions are conversational but focused on workable steps rather than long theoretical discussion. He describes his role as supportive and collaborative, helping people to make steady progress.

If you are feeling isolated or struggling with grief, mood or relationship difficulties, Chris aims to help you find clearer ways forward. To begin, follow the site's booking process and complete the short matching questionnaire to arrange a time.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Christopher works with Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in straightforward ways. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and responding without judgement, helping people to feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect, and introduces simple exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will discuss goals and preferences with each person and suggest which elements of these approaches to emphasise. That makes the process collaborative and tailored to what a person needs right now.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by removing travel time or allowing appointments during a lunch break. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when energy or concentration is limited. The biography does not specify which formats are offered, so confirm the session options before booking to know what will suit your routine and needs.
