About Christine

Christine OPrey helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and difficult life changes using practical, evidence-based approaches. She works with issues such as anger, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and sleep problems, and offers support for parenting strains, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related concerns. Christine is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 12 years of experience.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a structured approach that looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours to find manageable ways to reduce distress. In sessions she uses clear, practical strategies clients can try between appointments. Conversations focus on current problems and steps that move daily life forward.

Christine also has experience with trauma-related difficulties, grief and loss, and recurrent or intrusive worries such as health anxiety and panic. She offers ways to lessen avoidance and to rebuild routines that support better sleep and mood. The emphasis is on short, useful tasks rather than long theoretical discussion.

She supports people dealing with relationship issues, codependency, communication problems and separation. Christine will talk through patterns that keep problems repeating and suggest small changes to test in real life. Her approach is direct and focused on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Sessions are conducted in English from the UK. International clients are not accepted. For bookings, clients use the site matching process to arrange an initial session and plan next steps.

How CBT and trauma work in online sessions

Christine commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, sleep problems and low mood because it gives concrete steps people can try between appointments.

She also draws on approaches for trauma and grief that help manage intrusive memories and intense emotions through stabilising techniques and gradual exposure. These methods aim to reduce avoidance and rebuild daily routines that improve sleep and functioning.

Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then agree which techniques to try first. They review progress and change the plan as needed so the approach fits the client’s life and needs.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caring responsibilities, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals offer remote appointments that aim to make consistent, practical support easier to maintain.
