About Christie

Christie Henderson helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with self esteem. She uses client-centred ways of working and combines mindfulness, solution-focused and somatic methods to help people notice patterns and make small changes. Christie is a BACP-registered counsellor and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Christie meets people who are coping with life changes, grief, addiction-related concerns, and issues around intimacy and sexual expression. She also works with people facing career strain, compassion fatigue, and long-term health or caregiving stress. Sessions focus on what the person brings each week and practical steps they can try between meetings.

Her approach is rooted in client-centred counselling, which means listening closely and following the client’s pace. Mindfulness techniques are used to build present-moment awareness and reduce overwhelming reactions. Solution-focused elements keep work goal-oriented and look for small, achievable shifts.

Somatic methods are drawn on when emotions are held in the body and movement or breath work can help people process those experiences. Trauma-focused ideas guide work with past hurt, aiming to reduce its impact on current life without forcing traumatic memories to be relived all at once.

Christie works in English and practises across a range of common mental health and relational concerns. She has five years' experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). To arrange a first session, clients follow the site’s matching and booking steps.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Christie commonly uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening, reflecting what the person says, and following the client’s pace to build understanding and direction. This approach helps with a wide range of concerns where a careful, person-led conversation is needed.

She also uses mindfulness practice to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without immediate reaction; this can be useful for anxiety, stress and strong emotional states. Solution-focused techniques are used to set clear short-term goals and identify practical steps that can be tried between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the initial work together. Christie will discuss the methods that best fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences and she will adapt the plan as they progress. The process is collaborative and guided by what the client finds most helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to use mindfulness or somatic exercises in their own surroundings rather than a clinic setting.
