Christine Willis helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief and low mood. She works with issues around addiction, anger, self-esteem and relationship strain. Christine welcomes conversations about trauma, intimacy difficulties, career worries and major life changes.

She uses a straightforward, friendly style in sessions. Conversations focus on what matters now and what the client wants to change. Christine aims to be non-judgemental and warm while keeping discussions practical and focused.

Background and approach

Her training is recognised by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Christine brings eight years of experience working with many presenting concerns, including domestic violence, bereavement and substance problems. She adapts her way of working to each person rather than following one fixed method.

Therapy sessions can include talking through thoughts and feelings, spotting unhelpful patterns and trying new ways of responding. Christine may help clients look at past experiences that influence current behaviour and also introduce techniques to manage anxiety or low mood day to day. People who prefer different formats can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.

The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time so plans remain flexible for changing circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an accepting space where the client leads the conversation and finds their own solutions. It helps with feelings of isolation, low self-worth and relationship issues by encouraging personal insight and self-acceptance.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It is practical and goal-focused and often used for anxiety, depression and coping strategies for stress and addiction.

Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to how past relationships and early experiences shape current feelings and patterns. It can help people understand recurring difficulties such as attachment problems, guilt and patterns in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and agree on a way forward together. This collaborative planning can include trying one method and adjusting as progress is reviewed.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions are useful when a quicker check-in is needed or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter, more frequent contacts and can fit around work or caring responsibilities.
