About Christie
Christie Henderson is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, family and relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues and parenting challenges. Christie also supports people coping with life changes and a wide range of related difficulties.
Christie uses straightforward conversational work in sessions. She focuses on listening closely and helping people notice what gets in the way of everyday functioning. Sessions often include practical steps to reduce worry and to improve day-to-day coping. Christie draws on Client-Centred and Solution-Focused ideas to keep sessions grounded and action-oriented.
When trauma or overwhelming physical sensations come up, Christie brings in Trauma-Focused and Somatic ways of working. That means paying attention to bodily responses and helping people develop safer ways to be with strong emotions. Mindfulness practice is also used to help reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness.
Christie’s approach is collaborative. She explains options, discusses pros and cons, and works with each person to pick what fits best. She adapts the focus as needs change, moving between short-term goals and deeper work when appropriate.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow a subscription payment model that can be cancelled at any time. Christie does not accept international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Christie commonly uses Client-Centred work and Solution-Focused methods when working with people online. Client-Centred work means the therapist listens attentively and follows the person’s priorities to build clearer understanding. Solution-Focused work emphasises small practical changes and short-term goals to reduce immediate difficulties.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help with stress and anxiety, teaching simple attention exercises that can be practised between sessions. When trauma or strong bodily reactions are present, Somatic and Trauma-Focused elements may be introduced to help notice and manage physical responses to stress.
Finding the best mix of approaches is a shared task. Christie will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan together with each person based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to move between brief problem-solving work and longer term emotional processing as needed.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments into work and family schedules and the ability to use mindfulness and grounding exercises at home. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep appointments without long travel and to practise strategies between meetings.
