Chris holds the view that thoughts influence emotions and behaviour, and that by working on thinking and actions people can reduce distress and move toward a more fulfilling life. He aims to be supportive and collaborative throughout the process and is currently accepting new clients who are looking for approachable, skills-informed therapy.

Client-Centered and CBT Support Delivered Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful and empathetic space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers understanding and support. It is particularly helpful for people who need to explore feelings, build self-awareness and strengthen self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. CBT techniques are often used for anxiety, depression, stress and relationship difficulties and can include behavioural experiments, thought records and problem-solving strategies.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christopher "Chris" Rice works with clients to understand their needs, goals and preferences and will adapt methods over time to find the best fit. Clients are involved in decisions about pacing and the techniques used so therapy matches their priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can be held by video call or phone, and shorter contact can take place via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity of care, and access support from home or other convenient locations.
