About Christie

Christie Henderson is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, grief and anger. Her approach is practical and straightforward for adults who want to handle anger better in everyday life.

Christie uses talking and structured exercises in sessions. She listens to what matters most and helps people set small, achievable steps. That can mean practising calming techniques, spotting patterns that lead to outbursts, or planning different responses in tense moments.

Her work draws on client-centred methods that keep the person’s priorities at the centre. She also brings in mindfulness practices to help reduce reactivity and solution-focused techniques to set clear short-term goals. When trauma is part of the picture, she uses trauma-informed methods alongside somatic approaches that pay attention to bodily experience.

Sessions are aimed at making day-to-day life more manageable. Christie supports people dealing with parenting strain, career pressure, intimacy concerns, eating or sleeping problems, and the stress of life transitions. She also works with clients facing issues related to sexuality and kink, caregiving stress, chronic health problems, and identity-related challenges.

Christie works in English and currently does not take international clients. She asks new people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session to see how best to move forward.

How her approaches translate to online work

Christie uses client-centred therapy to keep the focus on what the person wants to change. That means the first conversations clarify the most pressing problems and priorities, then the work is organised around those goals. Mindfulness practices are used to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of triggers; these can include short attention exercises and breathing practices that are easy to do between sessions.

She also uses solution-focused methods to set clear, short-term steps. This helps people try different responses to anger and review what worked. The mix of approaches means the therapist and client decide together which methods suit the person’s situation and aims, so the plan can change as progress is noticed.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Christie will discuss how to structure sessions so they fit with everyday life and goals.
