About Christina

Christina Murphy is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She focuses on relationship issues, stress, anxiety, grief and anger, alongside related concerns such as self-esteem, sleep problems and career strain.

She works from a relationship-based approach that emphasises trust, acceptance and non-judgement. Christina uses a mix of therapeutic tools to help people spot old beliefs and rules that no longer serve them. The aim is to name those patterns and consider different ways of responding to them.

People come to her when they want change but are unsure how to begin. She describes counselling as an agent or catalyst for change that can be brief or more gradual depending on the person. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as emotional understanding.

Christina also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns and common problems like codependency, control issues and jealousy. She supports people coping with trauma, domestic violence, separation, compassion fatigue and the strain of caregiving.

Her core methods include attachment-based work, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. These approaches are used to help clients reframe unhelpful thoughts, improve relationships and manage emotions such as anger and resentment.

Christina works in English and sees people in the United Kingdom. For anyone ready to begin she asks that they use the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Christina uses attachment-based work to look at patterns in relationships and how early connections affect current anger and trust. This helps when resentment or repeated conflicts keep happening. Client-centred therapy means the counsellor listens without judgement and follows what the person brings, helping them find their own solutions and clearer emotional language. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviours that increase distress and testing practical alternatives to reduce anxiety and anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will talk with clients about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try techniques from different methods together. That makes the process collaborative and gives room to adjust what is tried as therapy progresses.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how Christina runs appointments. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a day, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let conversations continue between difficult life events and help apply new skills in everyday situations. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor pace and tools to what the client needs rather than promising a fixed outcome.
