Christine Coyle offers a person-centred way of working that keeps the client at the heart of therapy. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to help people cope with stress and anxiety. Christine holds BACP accreditation and has seven years of clinical experience in Northern Ireland and the wider United Kingdom.

She trained in psychology and criminology and spent time working in the charity sector before opening her own counselling and holistic therapies practice.

Background and approach

That practical background informs a straightforward style that aims to be down to earth and approachable. Sessions focus on building small, usable skills for everyday life. Christine helps people navigate depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and addiction-related concerns.

She also supports those dealing with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress and body image worries. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and communication problems. Her method blends psychodynamic reflection with solution-focused techniques so people can name past patterns and also try concrete steps forward.

Mindfulness practices and thought-challenging tools from cognitive behavioural work are used to manage overwhelming feelings. The aim is practical change that fits into a person’s daily routine. Sessions are offered in English and Christine accepts international clients.

She uses a collaborative pace, checking in about goals and adjusting techniques as needs change. The overall emphasis is on clarity, steady progress and restoring a sense of control.

Approaches you can use online with a counsellor

Client-centred work focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgement; it helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviours. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to manage stress and to respond differently to difficult emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The counsellor will ask about goals, personal history and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as the work progresses. That collaborative plan can be reviewed and changed when needed.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face exchanges and exercises, phone sessions suit people with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to use a camera, and live chat or messaging can provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments while keeping the same therapeutic focus.
