About Christie

Christie Breen offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or major life changes. She is Christie Breen, NCPS, and she aims to create a warm space to talk through what is happening now and what you want next. Her style is straightforward and encouraging, with short-term tools and gentle reflection to help you regain steadiness.

She draws on seven years of therapy practice and earlier roles in teaching and business to understand the pressures of busy lives. That background shapes sessions that are down-to-earth and focused on what works day to day. Christie uses mindfulness exercises to help bring attention back to the present moment and simple cognitive techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts.

Her approach also pays attention to patterns in close relationships. Attachment-based ideas are used to notice how past relationships affect current responses. Jungian perspectives may be brought in to explore personal meaning and recurring themes when that feels helpful.

Sessions typically mix practical strategies, reflective conversation and short exercises to try between meetings. Christie helps people set achievable goals and checks progress together. She works with concerns like depression, relationship strain, addiction, grief, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD and codependency, as listed in her specialities.

Christie offers work suitable for those wanting coaching-style focus or longer talking therapy. People who value a calm listener with clear, doable suggestions often find it useful. To begin, follow the site's Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Christie's practice uses client-centred methods and mindfulness alongside cognitive behavioural ideas to help people make practical changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities, which helps build trust and clear goals. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and bring calm in stressful moments. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers structured techniques to test and change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christie will talk with each person about their needs and preferences, and together they decide which combination of methods feels most useful. That collaboration continues as work progresses, with adjustments made if something isn't helping.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking as formats were not specified in the original biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support continuity when people move or travel. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find that practical, evidence-informed techniques translate well to remote sessions, and Christie uses exercises and short practices that suit home or workday routines.
