About Christine

Christine Coyle is a BACP-registered counsellor working in Northern Ireland with seven years' experience. She sees adults presenting with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting worries, body image and anger. Christine also supports people dealing with self-esteem issues, bipolar mood concerns and life changes.

Her background combines psychology and criminology and includes work in the charity sector. She now runs her own counselling and holistic therapies practice. Christine commonly uses simple, practical techniques clients can try between sessions to change patterns that cause distress.

Christine draws on Client-Centred approaches to keep conversations focused on what matters to each person. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify thinking and behaviour patterns that maintain problems. Mindfulness practices are offered as short exercises that help notice emotional and bodily states.

When deeper history is relevant, she uses psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring relationship patterns and attachment issues. Solution-Focused elements are used to set small, achievable goals so people can measure progress and feel less stuck.

Her work includes attention to addictions, eating and body image issues, and managing anger and control problems. Christine treats concerns such as abandonment, codependency, chronic illness and caregiver stress. She works in English and accepts clients from outside the UK.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Payment uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location. Confirm current session options before booking.

How sessions work

How Christine uses therapeutic approaches online

Christine often blends Client-Centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when working with anger and related issues. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can clarify what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and introduces practical exercises to change those patterns.

Mindfulness is also used as a short practice to notice bodily signals and emotional shifts before they escalate. These exercises are kept simple so they can be used in everyday moments like a commute or a short break at work. Christine will discuss which combination of approaches fits your goals and preferences, making those choices together rather than imposing a single method.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing a shorter check-in when needed, or letting people choose quieter surroundings. Registered or accredited professionals can offer the same therapeutic tools remotely as in person, and the therapist will adapt exercises so they work across the session type you agree on.
