About Christine
Christine Viner is a BACP counsellor based in Lincolnshire, England. She brings five years of clinical experience and a person-centred approach to online work. Christine focuses on helping people who are struggling with anxiety, stress and related life challenges.
She has worked in the NHS, social care and with people who have physical disabilities. Her background also includes work with members of the armed forces and their families. This range of settings has shaped a practical, down-to-earth style.
Background and approach
Christine uses a person-centred way of working, which means she pays close attention to how each person experiences their world. She listens first, then helps clients shape sessions around what matters to them. The aim is to build trust and a steady sense of belonging as problems are talked through.
Sessions are planned together so people know how they will communicate and what to expect from their time with her. She emphasises simple, doable steps to manage emotions and improve day-to-day coping. That can include short practical tasks between sessions.
Her main concerns include anxiety, stress, depression, grief, relationship and family issues, parenting, trauma and abuse, ADHD and self-esteem. Christine also works with issues such as attachment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, fertility and isolation. People who want a calm, compassionate listener and a collaborative plan may find her approach helpful.
She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients for online work.
How Christine’s approaches work online
Christine draws on client-centred and emotionally-focused approaches to help people online. Client-centred work means the conversation centres on how the person experiences their life, with the counsellor offering non-judgemental listening and support to help clarify goals. Emotionally-focused Therapy concentrates on identifying and naming core emotions and using that understanding to shift patterns that cause distress, which can be useful for relationship issues and deep emotional pain.Finding the right approach is part of the journey and Christine treats this as a collaborative decision. She will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and adapt sessions so the method fits the person rather than the other way round. That might mean blending elements from different approaches as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving clear practical benefits. Video lets people use body language and facial cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging can fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family or other commitments while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
