About Christine
Christine OPrey is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience supporting people through stress and anxiety. She holds BACP accreditation, which appears after her name as BACP. She works with a wide range of concerns including depression, anger and low self-esteem.
She helps people who are struggling with panic, phobias and social anxiety. She also supports those dealing with trauma, grief and the long-term strain of caregiver roles.
Background and approach
Sleeping problems, compassion fatigue and symptoms linked to bipolar and ADHD are part of her caseload. Her work focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Conversations are geared to break big problems into manageable pieces.
She encourages small experiments and changes that fit into everyday life. Christine has particular experience with family-related difficulties such as communication problems, codependency and the stresses that follow separation or divorce. She also addresses body image, feelings of emptiness, jealousy and issues around forgiveness and guilt.
People who choose her can expect straightforward language and clear goals. Sessions aim to identify patterns that maintain distress and to build coping strategies that feel achievable. The emphasis is on usable skills and steady progress over time.
Evidence-based approaches for online support
Christine draws on well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying and shifting thoughts and beliefs that keep anxiety and low mood going, and provide practical tools to test new ways of coping.Behavioural strategies are used to reduce avoidance and build small, doable steps back into daily life. This can help with panic, phobias, sleeping problems and social anxiety by gradually increasing confidence through repeated, supported practice.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and choose methods that match the client's goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what feels most useful for the individual.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit a shorter break at work. Messaging and chat let people check in between appointments and can suit those who prefer writing over speaking. These formats make it easier to arrange regular contact and continue progress despite busy lives.
