About Christine
Christine Willis is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties, and she also supports people coping with grief, addiction and codependency. She uses straightforward talk to help people untangle what is getting in the way of feeling steady.
Her sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and how past patterns repeat. Christine uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen without judgement and to help people notice their own priorities. She brings Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small changes. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at repeated relationship patterns and where they may come from.
Christine aims for clear, practical conversations. She will help clients identify short-term steps they can try between sessions. That might include testing a different way of saying no, adjusting routine to reduce overwhelm, or practising a thought record to lower anxiety.
She has worked with people affected by domestic violence, substance issues and serious illness, and she understands the strain of dealing with ongoing family conflict. Christine also supports people facing intimacy concerns, feelings of emptiness, guilt or shame, and those navigating career or life changes.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Before starting, clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Christine draws on Client-Centred Therapy to offer listening that focuses on the person's own perspective; this helps people feel heard and clarify what matters to them. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical steps to change patterns such as anxiety, low mood or people-pleasing.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and together they will try methods that fit the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative process may lead to using short CBT exercises, open conversation from a client-centred stance, or exploring repeated relationship patterns with psychodynamic ideas.
For practical details about how online sessions run, please confirm available session formats before booking since the biography did not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can help arrange a plan that suits everyday routines and the issues being addressed.
