Christine Howell is a counsellor who blends practical talking therapy with a warm, person-centred style. She draws on ten years of experience to help people manage anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship stress. Christine uses straightforward language and aims to create a calm, steady space where people feel heard and respected.

Her work focuses on common life challenges such as coping with traumatic events, grief, low self-esteem and parenting stress. She has spent much of the last five years supporting people affected by sexual abuse, and she works with those who have experienced primary, secondary and complex trauma.

Background and approach

Christine also supports people dealing with anger, career pressure, compassion fatigue, bipolar symptoms and ADHD-related difficulties. Christine combines client-centred listening with cognitive and narrative techniques to help people make practical changes. Sessions often involve exploring current thoughts and behaviours, reflecting on personal stories, and practising mindful ways to reduce stress.

She aims to tailor the approach to each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Her counselling style is described as warm and interactive, offering steady presence and sensitivity during difficult conversations. Christine encourages people to set meaningful goals and to develop new coping strategies over time.

Her goal is to support people as they move from feeling stuck to feeling more empowered. Based in the United Kingdom, Christine holds BACP accreditation which is shown as BACP. She offers video, phone, live chat and text-based sessions to suit different needs.

How Christine’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the person’s lead, offers empathy and helps them find their own solutions. This approach is useful when someone needs space to feel heard and to rebuild confidence.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and offers practical steps to change them. It often involves setting small goals and practising new skills between sessions, which can help with anxiety, depression and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with the person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. Together they adjust techniques as progress is made, combining listening, practical exercises and reflective work to fit the individual.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit counselling into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit people who prefer to write or want flexible, brief contact between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals offer these formats to make therapy more accessible and to match different comfort levels and schedules.
