About Christie
Christie Henderson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She offers calm, non-judgemental support to people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain and life changes. Christie uses straightforward language and practical steps so conversations feel useful from the first session.
Christie works with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, addiction, grief and issues around intimacy. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, sleep and eating difficulties, caregiver strain and codependency. Her broader focus covers attachment, body image, blended family matters and other complex life challenges.
Her approach is person-focused and flexible. Christie adapts sessions to what the client needs in the moment, using client-centred conversations alongside mindfulness and solution-focused exercises. She brings somatic and trauma-focused techniques into the work when they suit the person and the issue being explored.
Christie holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she has around five years of professional experience. She aims to create a respectful space and to tailor a plan that matches each person’s goals and pace.
To begin, Christie asks people to reflect on what they want to change and what feels possible right now. From there she helps set clear short-term steps while keeping sight of longer term aims.
How approaches like client-centred and mindfulness work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflecting concerns and helping clarify what matters most. This approach suits people who need time to talk things through and to be heard.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These exercises can help with anxiety, sleep problems and managing strong emotions. Solution-Focused Therapy looks at small, practical steps and what changes would make a real difference soon after sessions begin.
Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. Christie will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, then try methods that fit the person’s needs. If somatic or trauma-focused techniques are helpful, she can bring them into the plan while checking how the person feels about those steps.
Session formats are not listed in this biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make fitting sessions around work, family and travel easier, and some approaches translate well to a short practical check-in while others suit longer conversations. The aim is to make sessions fit into everyday life and to focus on steps the person can take between meetings.
