About Christina
Christina Collingwood is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She uses a warm, respectful approach and says the first step towards support takes courage. Christina aims to tailor sessions to each person's needs and meets people where they are.
She works in a straightforward, person-centred way that focuses on what matters to the client. Conversations are practical and paced to suit each person.
Background and approach
Christina listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people find small changes that make daily life easier. Christina also uses trauma-focused approaches when past events are affecting current wellbeing. This can include stabilising techniques, grounding and ways to reduce distressing symptoms so people regain more control in day-to-day life.
With four years of experience and a BACP credential, Christina brings calm and clarity to difficult topics. She supports people through grief and loss and helps with adjustments after big life changes. She also addresses issues such as obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, dissociation and workplace stress.
Sessions aim to build self-compassion and practical skills for coping. Christina discusses options with each person and adapts the plan as progress is made. For people dealing with shame, guilt or the aftermath of sexual assault, she offers steady support and a clear focus on recovery.
Client-centred and trauma-focused care online
Christina uses client-centred therapy, which places the person at the heart of sessions. This approach means the conversation follows the client's concerns and pace, with the counsellor offering empathy, reflection and practical suggestions to help people feel heard and understood.She also uses trauma-focused therapy when past events continue to affect daily life. That work often begins with stabilising techniques and grounding, then moves towards reducing distressing reactions and building coping skills so people feel more in control.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Christina works collaboratively to decide what methods fit best for each person's goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan if something is not helping.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful when seeing facial cues matters, while phone calls can work when video is difficult. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments while still accessing experienced therapists and tailored treatment.
