About Christine

Christine Willis welcomes people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, anger, low self-esteem and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, career worries and family-related concerns. Christine's name appears first because she offers a clear, direct way of working for anyone unsure where to start.

She uses approaches drawn from client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy to shape sessions. That means she listens without judgement, helps clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns, and looks at how past experiences affect present feelings. Conversations focus on what matters now and on small, practical steps people can try between sessions.

Christine holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has eight years of experience working with people in the United Kingdom and with international clients in English. Her manner is warm and open, and she aims to make the room feel steady and non-judgemental.

Sessions are a place to talk through painful feelings, rehearse different ways of handling difficult moments, and build clearer choices for the future. She takes time to understand each person's story before suggesting tools or changes.

People often come for help with addiction, codependency, self-harm thoughts, communication problems, bereavement linked to illness such as cancer, or complex feelings like guilt and shame. Christine works to help people feel less stuck and more able to manage day-to-day life.

How Christine uses talking therapies online

Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a respectful space where the client leads the conversation and feels heard. It helps with feelings of isolation, low self-esteem and when someone just needs clear, non-judgemental listening.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It introduces simple, practical techniques to reduce anxiety, mood problems and unhelpful patterns that affect work and wellbeing.

Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to patterns that come from earlier relationships and life events. It can help when recurring difficulties, such as attachment problems or repeated conflict, keep showing up in work or personal life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person rather than imposing one model. That process is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy if someone is living abroad, since Christine accepts international clients. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, often adapt these approaches effectively to remote sessions.
