About Christine

Christine Smith is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with more than two decades of experience. She is listed with the BACP which reflects her commitment to recognised professional standards. Christine aims to make the first step easier for people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood.

She keeps sessions straightforward and human. Conversations are calm and non-judgemental. Christine listens first, then helps people work out practical next steps that fit their daily life.

Background and approach

Her work often focuses on anxiety, depression and coping with major life changes. She also supports people dealing with grief, relationship concerns, parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, and addiction-related problems. Areas such as panic attacks, bipolar mood fluctuations and compassion fatigue are within her scope too.

Christine uses a mix of methods suited to each person. She draws on client-centred ways of working to build trust, cognitive behavioural ideas to address unhelpful thinking, and dialectical behaviour tools for emotion management. Hypnotherapy and Imago relationship techniques may be used where they feel helpful.

Sessions are conducted in English and can take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. International clients are welcome. To start, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange appointments according to availability.

Her approach aims to be practical and down-to-earth. The focus is on small, achievable changes so people can feel steadier and more in control over time.

How Christine’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It means conversations are led by what matters to the client and aim to build trust and clarity. This approach is helpful for people who need space to talk through feelings and make their own choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers clear, practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours, which is useful for anxiety, panic and low mood. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, provides skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping during stressful times.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods that suit their situation. She adapts techniques rather than using a fixed package so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life. Video calls let people see visual cues and build rapport, while phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are options for shorter check-ins, written reflection or times when typing feels more comfortable. These formats offer flexibility and help people keep momentum between sessions.
