About Christine

Christine Willis is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has eight years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression and addiction. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family concerns, trauma and intimacy-related issues.

Her sessions are straightforward and practical. She listens without judgement and helps people talk through what is happening in their life. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour. She uses client-centred principles to keep the conversation focused on the person sitting in front of her.

Christine also brings psychodynamic thinking into the room to help people notice recurring themes from the past that affect current feelings and reactions. That can be useful for issues such as attachment, control problems, jealousy, guilt and shame. She makes space to discuss difficult experiences like domestic violence, bereavement or addiction when they come up.

People often come to her wanting clearer communication, better boundaries, or ways to manage strong feelings such as anger and resentment. Sessions aim to identify manageable steps and practical coping tools. The format and pace are decided together, so clients and Christine can agree what works best for each situation.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective. The counsellor reflects back what is said and helps the client find their own solutions; this works well for people wanting clearer communication, boundary-setting and self-understanding.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviour. It uses practical exercises and short experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anger, anxiety and low mood.

Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to repeating themes from past relationships and early experiences. Noticing these patterns can explain why certain situations trigger strong emotions and help reduce their hold over everyday life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor discusses goals and preferences and together they choose methods that fit the client’s needs. That collaborative process makes it easier to try different techniques and keep what helps.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, save travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when needed. Some formats are better for short practical work, while others suit deeper conversations; Christine will work with the client to choose what fits their life and aims.
