About Christine
She encourages self-acceptance as a first step. Christine helps clients recognise parts of themselves they may have been avoiding. The work focuses on small, practical changes alongside talking through painful memories or habits.
Her background includes five years working in the United Kingdom supporting people with addictions, relationship difficulties, family problems, trauma and grief. Christine is a BACP counsellor, which she presents as her professional registration.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice to build trust and create easier ways of relating. Motivational Interviewing and trauma-focused work are used when people want to change behaviours or process past hurt.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. Christine will help set goals and notice progress over time. If a parent or carer wants clear next steps and steady support, this approach aims to make therapy practical and manageable.

Step 3
How Christine’s approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work helps people notice how early relationships shape current feelings. It focuses on building safer ways of relating and can help with abandonment, attachment worries and relationship patterns.Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judging and follows the client’s priorities to help them make sense of their experience and find their own solutions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss what feels most useful and adapt the methods to fit a client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where goals are set together and reviewed over time.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into busy family life. Online work can reduce travel time and make it simpler to attend from different locations. The profile does not list specific session formats, so check the therapist's current options before booking to confirm what is offered.
