About Christine
Christine Willis is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, career changes and other life stresses. Christine also pays attention to attachment difficulties, issues around control, isolation and self-harm concerns.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what is worrying the person now and clear steps that might help. Christine uses talking, reflective listening and evidence-informed techniques to help clients notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
Her practice draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which concentrates on the person’s experience and aims to make talking feel more comfortable. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to look at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and try small, testable changes. Psychodynamic ideas help bring attention to longer-standing patterns shaped by earlier relationships.
Sessions aim to balance present-day coping with understanding why some reactions keep repeating. Christine explains options and works with each person to set simple, achievable goals. She accepts international clients and holds sessions in English.
For someone who finds speaking up or meeting people difficult, Christine offers steady, practical support. To begin, follow the service’s booking steps to complete the short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person and helping them speak about difficult feelings without pressure. Online sessions can use that same gentle, person-led pacing to help someone with social anxiety or grief feel understood.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and tests small changes to reduce anxiety or avoidant behaviour. Online sessions can include setting practical exercises between meetings and reviewing how they went.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide with the client which methods to try first, based on the person's goals and what feels manageable. That collaborative process helps shape each plan over the first few sessions.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. These practical advantages can help someone build consistency while balancing work, care responsibilities and other appointments.
