About Christine
Christine Willis is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those dealing with addictions, relationship and family problems, trauma and intimacy-related concerns.
Christine uses simple, conversational sessions so people can talk through what is happening in their lives. She draws on client-centered work to follow the person's priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thinking and behaviour patterns, and psychodynamic ideas to consider how past experiences shape current reactions.
In sessions she focuses on practical steps and clearer understanding. That might mean spotting unhelpful thoughts, trying different behaviours between meetings, or naming patterns that repeat in relationships. She keeps explanations plain and gives short, usable strategies to practise between sessions.
Christine has supported people through bereavement, domestic violence, addiction and career or life transitions. She can help with attachment concerns, communication problems, control issues and feelings such as guilt, shame or emptiness. She also addresses issues around infidelity, jealousy and self-harm thoughts in a straightforward way.
Sessions are delivered in English and international clients are accepted. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, so people can manage cost and commitment. To begin, the process asks users to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Christine’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on the person’s priorities and listening carefully. It helps people name what matters most and set simple goals for managing anger or stress.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems going. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking, trying different responses and using short exercises between sessions to test what changes behaviour.
Psychodynamic ideas consider how earlier experiences influence current reactions. This can help people spot recurring patterns in relationships and understand why certain situations trigger strong feelings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and make decisions together based on what the person needs, wants and finds useful. That collaborative approach helps shape goals and practical steps for change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Phone sessions tend to need less bandwidth, while video lets people use visual cues; the choice is about what fits daily routines and comfort rather than clinical effectiveness.
