About Christine
Christine McInnes is a BACP registered counsellor who aims to help people reconnect with their inner strengths. She writes plainly and listens carefully so clients can speak about difficult things without jargon. Christine encourages self-acceptance and helps people notice the parts of themselves that are useful in change. She works from a belief that authenticity - being honest about who you are - can make moving forward easier.
Christine uses practical conversation and reflective listening to help people who are struggling with addictions, relationship tensions, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and grief. She also supports people dealing with codependency, attachment concerns, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and other life pressures. Sessions focus on understanding patterns and finding small, doable steps that feel manageable.
Her style blends ideas from attachment-based and client-centred approaches, with attention to past experience and present goals. Motivational interviewing techniques are used to help people find their own reasons for change. Trauma-focused work is offered when experience of harm needs careful attention.
Christine has five years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. People who feel drawn to a thoughtful, person-centred way of working may find her approach helpful.
To start, clients typically complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. The process aims to match needs with a style of therapy that fits each person.
How Christine's approaches work in online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It looks at how people relate to others and themselves, which can help with codependency, trust issues and relationship difficulties. Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions and uses active listening and reflection so clients feel heard and can find their own answers. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify their reasons for change and build commitment, which can be useful for addictions and behaviour change.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christine will talk with each person about goals, history and what feels helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made. This collaborative stance aims to match therapy to what a person needs and prefers.
Practical benefits of online therapy include being able to fit sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it simpler to keep regular appointments and to connect with a therapist when local options are limited.
