About Christine
Christine Coyle is a BACP-registered counsellor with seven years' experience working in Northern Ireland. She has a background in psychology and criminology and has worked in the charity sector before establishing her own counselling and holistic therapies business. Christine works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma, addictions and self-esteem.
She often helps people who struggle with codependency, difficulty setting boundaries, people-pleasing, and feeling swallowed by another person's problems. Christine commonly supports those facing grief, parenting strain, chronic illness and body image worries. She also works with clients managing anger, bipolar mood swings, eating struggles and coping with big life changes.
Her methods draw on client-centred practice alongside psychodynamic thinking and cognitive behavioural techniques. She uses mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to build short, practical tools people can use day to day. Christine says she likes to develop simple strategies clients can practise between sessions.
In sessions she explores patterns that keep people stuck, including attachment and abandonment themes. She also addresses communication and control issues that can feed into codependent behaviour. Her aim is to help clients identify manageable steps to feel more in charge of their choices.
Christine has experience supporting people affected by domestic violence, drug and alcohol problems, trauma and self-harm thoughts. She works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking route.
How sessions work
Online approaches and how they work
Christine commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy when working online. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and helping people articulate what matters to them, which can help with low self-worth and relationship patterns. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns like rumination or avoidance.She also draws on mindfulness techniques to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and ground difficult emotions. Choosing an approach is part of the work itself; the therapist will talk with the client about their goals and try methods to see what fits best. That decision is made together and can change over time as needs evolve.
The practical benefit of remote sessions is that they can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Sessions are intended to help people apply techniques and tools into everyday routines.
