About Christopher
Christopher "Chris" Rice is a counsellor with four years' experience based in the United Kingdom. He aims to help people face stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. Chris offers a clear, straightforward way of working that focuses on thoughts, feelings and practical steps forward.
Chris uses a mix of client-centred listening and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT. Sessions begin with a chance to talk through current problems and what the person hopes to change.
Background and approach
He then combines active listening with simple CBT techniques to help people notice and shift unhelpful thought patterns. People often come with worries such as depression, relationship strain, sleep problems, addictions or life changes. Chris also gives attention to areas like chronic illness and pain, money worries, communication problems and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
He aims to keep conversations direct and focused on practical coping methods. Chris describes his role as supportive and collaborative. He encourages clients to set small, manageable goals and to try out new ways of coping between sessions.
Progress is reviewed regularly so adjustments can be made when needed. Sessions are part of a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, readers are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Christopher works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes. CBT helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and difficulty coping after loss by teaching simple exercises and behaviour experiments to test different ways of thinking.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Chris will discuss goals and preferences and then agree on methods that suit each person. That collaborative process means therapy can shift if something else would be more helpful.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. They can make it easier to have regular short check-ins or to schedule sessions around work and family commitments. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm the available options before booking so you can choose what suits your routine and needs.
