About Christine
Christine Viner is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She draws on five years of experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and life changes. Christine uses simple, direct conversation to make it easier to talk about difficult things.
She gives attention to each person's story and how they experience the world. Sessions focus on listening first, then working together to set small, achievable goals. Christine aims to create a steady, trustworthy space where people can start to feel less overwhelmed.
Background and approach
Her approach comes from a person-centred background, which means the client leads the pace and priorities. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy tools are used when emotions and bonds are central to the issue.
Christine adapts the way she works to the individual, outlining a simple plan for sessions and how to communicate between meetings. She can offer evening appointments when needed and manages these slots carefully in her diary. Common concerns addressed include parenting stresses, relationship and family problems, identity and LGBT matters, trauma and abuse, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
She also helps with career worries, isolation, fertility or caregiving strain. The aim is practical: talk things through, try small changes, and build steadier routines. If someone wants to explore working together they start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions to suit their needs.

Online support
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person's pace. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection, helping clients clarify what matters and decide next steps.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps when emotions and close relationships are central to the problem. It guides people to name and work through painful feelings and to try different responses in their relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences and agree a plan together. That collaborative step helps decide which methods to use and how sessions should be paced.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations with visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow short check-ins, ongoing notes between sessions and support for people who find writing easier.
These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep working on goals between sessions while using approaches that match the issues being addressed.
