Background and approach

Christine uses familiar, evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside client-centred listening. She often blends talking therapy with hypnotherapy and relationship-focused tools when those fit the goal. That can help with issues like cravings, sleep problems, body image, and communication difficulties.

Christine also supports people facing major life changes such as divorce or grief. People can expect clear explanations and step-by-step ideas to try between sessions. Christine pays attention to practical outcomes like improved sleep, reduced panic, and less overwhelming day-to-day stress.

She works with each person at their own pace and adjusts plans as progress is made. Sessions are offered in English and can be delivered online in a range of formats. International clients are accepted, and practical arrangements are made after a short matching process to get started.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Christine often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviours. CBT is practical and solution-focused, and it can help with anxiety, panic attacks and low mood.

She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which puts the person’s experience at the centre of the work. That approach involves listening closely, reflecting what is said and building a trusting working relationship to explore feelings and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will talk through options and adapt methods to the person’s needs, goals and preferences so the work matches what they want to achieve.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when needed, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging works well for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family commitments and to try different formats until the best fit is found.
