Christine OPrey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. She is a counsellor with BACP accreditation and has 12 years of practice in the United Kingdom. Christine speaks English and sees people by online formats rather than in-person.

She focuses on common and painful problems such as panic, phobias, grief and trauma. Christine also helps people with anger, low self-esteem and sleep difficulties. Her work includes support for those coping with life changes and complex issues like compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and goal-focused. Christine aims to make sense of what keeps problems going and to teach simple, usable skills. Conversations are paced to match what a person can manage, with space for emotional processing as well as problem-solving.

Her background includes long-term work with anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive patterns and trauma responses. That experience informs how she tailors strategies to each situation. Over time Christine helps people build routines that reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

People can work with her through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Practical therapeutic approaches and online care

Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour. For example, cognitive-behavioural approaches look at how thoughts and actions keep anxiety and low mood going; they teach clear strategies for testing beliefs and building new routines. Exposure-style methods help people face and gradually reduce panic, phobias or obsessive behaviours by using small, planned steps rather than avoidance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day realities, then try methods that best suit the person. This is a collaborative process and strategies are adjusted as progress unfolds.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexible access. Video calls are useful for longer therapy conversations, phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging can support shorter check-ins or paced written reflection. These options make it simpler to attend sessions from different locations and to match contact style to what feels most helpful.
