Christine Viner is a BACP counsellor based in Lincolnshire, England. She draws on five years of practice and a person-centred background to help people who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain and other life challenges. She offers sessions online and is comfortable working with clients across the UK and internationally in English.

Christine focuses on listening carefully and understanding how each person experiences their world. She aims to build trust and a steady working rhythm with clear plans for sessions.

Background and approach

That practical structure helps people feel less overwhelmed and more able to take small steps forward. Her approach combines attachment-based ideas with emotionally-focused and solution-focused ways of working. That means she pays attention to how current relationships affect feelings, helps people name emotions, and looks for realistic steps that can reduce distress.

Sessions are shaped around what matters to the individual rather than a fixed agenda. Christine has experience in NHS settings, social care and supporting people with physical disabilities. She has also provided support for members of the armed forces and their families.

Those roles have informed her practical style and ability to adapt conversations to different life contexts. Practicalities are discussed together at the start of therapy so sessions fit around a person's life. People who want evening appointments can message to ask about availability and Christine will try to accommodate where possible.

Working online with attachment and emotion-focused methods

Christine uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions. That can help when repeating patterns or old hurts make it hard to trust or feel connected. She also draws on emotionally-focused therapy to help people identify and name their emotions, and to work out how those feelings affect relationships and everyday choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan together based on a person's goals, preferences and what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process where methods can be adjusted as needs change.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different routines and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
