About Christina

Christina Steele helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues and parenting concerns. She works collaboratively with clients and focuses on their strengths and goals. Christina is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 12 years of professional experience.

Christina believes people know their story best and uses that as the starting point for counselling. She asks questions, listens to what matters to each person and helps them set practical goals for sessions. Conversations may include exploring physical responses to stress as well as the emotions and thoughts linked to difficult events.

Her approach draws on somatic therapy to notice how the body holds experience, and trauma-focused methods to work with past harm. Sessions aim to be paced to the individual, with time spent building coping strategies and ways to manage immediate worries.

She supports clients to make changes in everyday life, for example by practising grounding, breathing or small behavioural adjustments. Christina also works on relationship patterns and intimacy-related concerns by helping people identify what they want and how to express it to others.

Christina has worked in counselling roles for over a decade across different settings. She uses her experience to offer steady, practical support while clients decide what to work on next.

How somatic and trauma-focused work translates to online sessions

Christina uses somatic therapy to attend to bodily signals such as tension, breathing and posture; online sessions can still include gentle awareness exercises and guided breathing to notice these responses. Trauma-focused therapy involves working with the memories and effects of past harm in a paced way, often using grounding and stabilisation techniques before addressing difficult material.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods to match a person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods are tested and changed as needed rather than fixed from the start.

Practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions into a weekday break or between other commitments, and avoiding travel time. Because the biography does not specify session formats, clients should confirm current options before booking. The emphasis is on making counselling manageable within everyday life and on choosing ways of working that fit each person’s routine and capacity.
