About Christine

Christine Viner is a therapeutic counsellor who works from a person-centred perspective. She is BACP registered and practices online from the United Kingdom. Christine focuses on listening carefully so clients feel heard from the start.

She has around five years of experience and has worked in a range of settings including the NHS, social care and with people who have physical disabilities. Her background also includes time supporting members of the armed forces and their families.

Background and approach

This has given her experience with common issues that arise in those environments. Christine uses a person-centred way of working, so sessions begin with the client and what matters to them. She aims to build trust and a sense of belonging, then makes a simple plan together for how sessions will be structured and how you will communicate.

The approach is practical and focused on your experience in everyday language. She also draws on attachment-focused thinking to look at relationship patterns, and on solution-focused strategies when people want clear, short-term steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas can be used to help with strong emotions and improving connections in close relationships.

Sessions can cover a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting pressures, work strain, relationship and family difficulties, trauma, ADHD and issues around identity. Christine aims to make therapy straightforward and manageable for people seeking support.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online support

Christine uses a person-centred approach that begins by focusing on your experience and what you want to change. This approach helps when someone needs to feel understood and to shape therapy around their own priorities.

She also works with attachment-based ideas to look at how relationship patterns form and repeat. This can help people understand why certain reactions happen in close relationships and how to build more supported ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will talk with you about your goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. That collaborative part makes it easier to try practical steps and adjust the plan if something isn't helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video lets you use visual cues for deeper emotional work, while phone sessions suit those who need less bandwidth or a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging offer flexibility for brief updates, paced reflection or when written thinking works better for you. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
