About Christopher
Christopher "Chris" Rice is a counsellor with four years of practice supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. He holds BACP registration, and draws on person-centred listening alongside practical techniques to help people gain clearer thinking and steadier days. Chris offers a calm, down-to-earth approach aimed at helping people feel less overwhelmed and more able to cope.
He focuses on common concerns such as low mood, self-esteem, sleep problems, addictions and relationship difficulties. He also works with people facing long-term health or neurological challenges and the practical and emotional impact these bring. Sessions mix open talking with hands-on tools to manage symptoms and everyday struggles.
Chris uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where clients set the pace and topics. He combines this with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, introducing straightforward exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Together these methods aim to make thoughts and actions feel more manageable.
People looking for help with work-related stress or broader wellbeing often come for a mix of coaching-style goal work and therapeutic support. Chris aims to be practical and compassionate, helping clients build small, sustainable changes over time.

How Chris blends talking and practical tools online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience first. It means the counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client's lead to understand what matters most. This approach suits people who need space to make sense of feelings and to set the pace.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses short, practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and stress-related worries.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to agree which methods to try first, review what helps, and adjust plans as goals and circumstances change. Many people move between listening-focused work and practical CBT tools over time.
The profile does not state which online or in-person formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when days are busy. It can also let people try techniques at home and bring real-life examples back to the session for discussion.
