About Christine

Christine Willis is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also helps those dealing with relationship strain, codependency and addiction. Christine offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can start to talk about what is worrying them.

She uses a blend of approaches to match what each person needs. Christine draws on client-centred work to keep sessions focused on the person and their experience. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to look at patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going.

Her practice includes elements of psychodynamic thinking to help uncover repeating relationship patterns and early influences on current struggles. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual, with time for practical tools and for reflecting on deeper themes.

Christine holds BACP, which is shown as her professional credential. She has eight years of experience supporting people through pain, loss and life change. The emphasis is on helping people build coping skills and clearer choices over time.

If someone is unsure where to begin, Christine guides the starting steps and helps set small, manageable goals. People are encouraged to say what they need from sessions so the work stays relevant and useful.

How Christine's approaches translate to online work

Christine draws on client-centred work to keep conversations focused on the person and their immediate concerns. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around what matters most to them.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at thought and behaviour patterns and teaches practical techniques to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits. CBT tools can be practised between sessions and reviewed together.

Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. Christine will help clients decide which approach or combination feels most useful, taking into account their goals and preferences. That choice can change as the work develops.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions let them continue work during relocations or when living abroad, and they can still use practical CBT exercises and reflective client-centred conversations effectively over distance.
