About Christine
Christine Coyle uses a person-centred approach to help people feel heard and understood. She combines practical strategies with talking therapy to address stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. Christine has seven years of experience working in counselling and holistic therapies in Northern Ireland.
She trained in psychology and criminology and has worked in the charity sector before founding her own practice. That background gave her experience with a wide range of issues including depression, trauma and addiction.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with grief, bipolar difficulties and major life changes. Christine works in a straightforward way. She helps people build simple, day-to-day techniques to manage mood and behaviour.
Sessions often look at thoughts and patterns using cognitive approaches, together with mindfulness and person-centred listening to make sense of feelings. She pays attention to relationships and attachment concerns, including abandonment, communication problems and codependency. Christine also addresses body image, parenting strain, caregiver stress and chronic illness where these affect mental health.
Practical problem-solving is a common focus in her work. Sessions are offered in English and Christine can work with international clients. Her BACP registration is noted as a professional credential.
People who come to her usually want to make a change and plan practical steps to get there.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christine will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide whether to focus on practical skills, exploring past patterns, or combining methods to meet the person's needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into everyday life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility to book around work, caring duties and other commitments while keeping continuity of care with a registered professional.
