About Christine

Christine Willis works with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, self esteem, depression and addictions, among other concerns, and uses client-centred, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ways of working. She is registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and has eight years of experience in the UK.

Christine welcomes conversations about relationship and family difficulties, intimacy-related issues, career questions and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, attachment issues, and problems linked to drug and alcohol use. Sessions concentrate on what the person brings and on practical steps they can try between appointments.

Her client-centred work focuses on listening and responding to the person's experience. Cognitive behavioural methods look at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and offer ways to try things differently. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at patterns that may come from earlier relationships and how these show up now.

Christine has worked with people affected by domestic violence, bereavement, infidelity, serious illness and feelings of emptiness, guilt or shame. She also addresses communication problems, control issues, codependency and isolation or loneliness. Sessions aim to be straightforward and task-focused when needed, with space to reflect when that is helpful.

Sessions are conducted in English and Christine accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Client-centred work means the counsellor listens closely to the person's experience and responds to what matters most to them; this helps with feelings like grief, loneliness and low self esteem. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and offers practical tasks to try between sessions, which can help with anxiety, depression and addictive behaviours. Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to repeating relationship patterns and how early experiences influence current feelings and reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss the different methods and agree together which to use based on the person's goals and preferences. The choice may change over time as the work moves forward, and the therapist and client decide together what helps most.

The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so appointments are simpler to attend.
