About Christina
Christina Steele is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience who helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues and parenting.
She works in a collaborative way and treats the person as the expert in their own story. Sessions focus on identifying goals and practical steps to address what feels difficult. Christina uses somatic therapy and trauma-focused methods when appropriate to support emotional and bodily responses to stress and trauma.
Her approach is straightforward. She listens for patterns in feelings, behaviour and body responses. Together with the client she explores small, manageable changes that can reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.
Christina draws on her years of practice to offer structured conversation and body-centred techniques. She invites people to notice how emotions show up in the body and to try gentle exercises that build tolerance for difficult memories and sensations.
She explains options clearly and checks in about what is helpful. Sessions look different depending on what each person needs and the practical goals they set. The programme of work is decided together and adjusted as progress or life circumstances change.

How somatic and trauma-focused work features in online sessions
Somatic therapy pays attention to how emotions appear in the body and uses simple exercises to help people notice and regulate bodily reactions. This can be useful for stress, anxiety and intimacy-related difficulties where tension or numbness are part of the problem. Trauma-focused therapy looks at the impact of past events on current thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses targeted methods to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and their triggers.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses and changes are made if something is not helping.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can allow shorter check-ins or more frequent brief sessions when that suits life commitments. Confirm the current session formats and scheduling options before booking so the arrangements match your routine and technical setup.
