About Christine

Christine Howell is a BACP counsellor who draws on ten years of practice to help people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship strain. She uses a warm, person-centred style and focuses on helping clients feel heard and understood. Christine works with a wide range of concerns including grief, parenting stress, identity questions and work-related pressure.

Sessions aim to be practical and compassionate, with space to slow down and make sense of difficult feelings.

Background and approach

Her background includes a decade in mental and emotional health services. Over the past five years she has concentrated much of her work on sexual abuse and related trauma. She has supported non-abusing parents of sexually abused children and worked with primary, secondary and complex trauma, both recent and historic.

Christine blends several therapeutic approaches to fit each person. She uses client-centred listening alongside cognitive and narrative ideas to help people reframe thoughts and tell a different story about their experiences. Mindfulness and existential perspectives also inform her way of working when questions about meaning or purpose arise.

Her style is described as warm, holding and interactive. Christine aims to build a steady rapport so clients can explore goals, gain insight and practise new ways of coping. She acknowledges therapy can be hard work and supports people through the process.

Sessions are offered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Christine practices from the United Kingdom and conducts work in English for adults seeking help with the concerns listed.

How Christine's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and empathic support. The counsellor creates space for people to talk through what matters and to make their own choices about change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. Practical exercises and small experiments help people try new ways of responding to anxiety, low mood or unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christine discusses goals and preferences and then suggests methods that might suit each person. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new issues emerge.

Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for a face-to-face feel and fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit more easily into a busy day. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins and the chance to reflect between messages. These options offer flexibility for different schedules, lifestyles and practical needs.
