About Christina
Christina Murphy is a counsellor who builds therapy around trust, acceptance and non-judgement. She works in the United Kingdom and draws on three years of practice to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship pain and codependency. Christina holds BACP and explains therapy in a plain, down-to-earth way so people know what to expect.
Her sessions start with listening. She aims to make it easier to name painful thoughts and feelings. From that base, she helps people question old rules or beliefs that once helped but now hold them back. Christina uses practical tools that suit the person in front of her rather than a single fixed method.
She combines attachment-based ideas with client-centred care and cognitive behavioural techniques. That mix is used to look at relationships, patterns of thinking and how past hurts affect present life. Christina helps people who are working through grief, trauma and difficulties with intimacy or self-esteem.
People come with worries about sleep, anger, career stress or major life changes. She also supports those coping with abandonment, caregiver strain, control issues, narcissistic relationships and the fallout of domestic violence. Sessions include talking, reflecting and learning small steps to try between meetings.
Christina describes counselling as a way to spark change. She aims to help people move from feeling stuck to trying new ways of being. The focus is practical: clearer thinking, kinder self-talk and better ways to handle painful emotions.
How these approaches work in online counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in relationships and can be useful for intimacy issues and abandonment fears. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance. The counsellor offers a non-judgemental space where people can talk through painful feelings and discover their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Finding the right approach often happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which ideas to use and adjust them as work proceeds, keeping sessions flexible to the person's needs.
Online therapy can fit more easily into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions to be scheduled around work or caregiving. It can make it simpler to keep regular appointments and to try techniques between sessions. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking so you know how meetings will be held. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can use these flexible options to help people make steady progress without requiring long waits or extra commuting.
