About Christine

Counsellor (BACP) with 8 years of experience. Christine Willis helps people with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictive behaviours and relationship concerns. She works with people facing trauma and abuse, intimacy problems, career changes and family issues. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

Christine uses approaches drawn from Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy. In practice she talks through immediate problems first and then looks at patterns that keep those problems going. That can mean practical strategies for managing anxiety or looking at past experiences that affect current relationships.

Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Christine aims to listen without judgement and to help people put small, manageable steps in place. For some problems she will use CBT techniques to address thinking and behaviour. For others she will use a more reflective, psychodynamic style to explore underlying feelings and history.

She also addresses issues such as attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems, control issues, and the emotional impact of cancer. Topics like guilt, shame, infidelity, isolation, and self-harm are included in her work when relevant to the person she is seeing.

Practical matters such as cost vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building an understanding of what matters to the person. It is about reflecting feelings and priorities so clients can clarify their own goals and make choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful patterns. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and relationships shape current emotions and behaviours, which can help with long-standing patterns and relational problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss options with each person and agree on strategies based on their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can shift over time as the person’s goals become clearer.

The original biography did not list specific remote session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people keep continuity of care if they move or travel, while the therapist and client focus on practical steps and reflective conversation that suit the person’s situation.
