Christine McInnes helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to start. She meets each person with calm focus and practical support. Christine wants clients to notice their existing strengths and use them to get through hard times.

She describes the work simply. Sessions are a place to talk about what matters and try out new ways of handling problems. Christine encourages self-acceptance and gentle honesty so people can build confidence and steady coping skills.

Background and approach

Christine has five years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She is BACP which refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her case work has included addictions, relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and grief.

Christine also offers help with issues that often sit alongside those concerns. These include abandonment and attachment worries, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, codependency, fertility and parenting stresses, and communication or control problems within families. Her approach draws on attachment-based, client-centred, psychodynamic and trauma-focused ideas.

In practice that means she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people explore patterns from their past that affect the present. Sessions aim to be steady, respectful and focused on realistic next steps.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Attachment-based therapy emphasises relationships and how early bonds shape current feelings and reactions; it helps people understand connection patterns and improve how they relate to others. Client-centred therapy focuses on empathic listening and supporting a person's own goals, helping clients to feel heard and develop self-directed change. Trauma-focused therapy attends directly to past harms and their ongoing impact, using careful pacing so traumatic memories can be safely processed and symptoms reduced.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaboration. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try an approach and adjust it as work progresses. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods to emphasise based on what actually helps in sessions.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer written reflection. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or health needs while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
