Christina Murphy is a counsellor who builds a trusting, non-judgemental relationship first. She uses that foundation to help people question old beliefs and find practical ways to change. Christina believes change can be quick or gradual and aims to make the process manageable and empowering.

She draws on approaches that focus on how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. In sessions she listens, reflects and helps people name painful thoughts and emotions.

Background and approach

That clarity often makes it easier to see what to try differently. Christina works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also supports people with relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, sleeping problems and career stress.

Additional focus areas include attachment wounds, codependency, caregiving stress and recovery from domestic violence. Her background includes three years of clinical practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers therapy in English from the United Kingdom and does not accept international clients.

Sessions are offered via video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Costs vary with location and therapist availability, and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions when suitable.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Christina uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current feelings and patterns. This approach helps people who feel stuck by old relationship habits understand why they repeat them and how to try new ways of relating.

She also uses Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening without judgement and creating a steady, accepting space. That method is useful when someone needs to feel heard while they work through difficult emotions and decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Christina will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s needs and goals. She checks in about what is helpful and adapts techniques as the work progresses.

Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need more frequent brief contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments and still get consistent support.
