About Christie
Christie Henderson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She also supports people with trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, addiction and mood issues such as depression and bipolar. Christie works with individual adults who want practical ways to cope and make changes.
Christie uses a person-focused style that aims to meet people where they are. She listens for what matters most and adapts sessions to each person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around the client's goals and honest conversation about what is and isn't helping. Her work draws on mindfulness and somatic ideas as well as solution-focused methods. That means sessions can include attention to present-moment experience, simple body-based strategies to reduce tension, and short-term goal setting to build momentum.
Trauma-focused tools are used when past events continue to affect day-to-day life. Christie has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. She treats each person with sensitivity and aims to create a respectful space for change.
People often come for help with grief, parenting strain, sleep or eating concerns, and issues around intimacy and attachment. Starting therapy with Christie involves a practical matching process, then regular sessions by video, phone, chat or text. She explains options clearly and works collaboratively to find ways forward that fit daily life.
How Christie's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience first and focuses on understanding rather than directing. Online sessions using this approach let clients lead the conversation while the counsellor reflects and helps clarify priorities. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve focus; these are easy to practise together on a video call and to carry into daily life. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on reducing the impact of past events through careful pacing and grounding exercises, with somatic awareness when body sensations are part of the difficulty.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Christie will work with each person to identify goals, try a few techniques and adjust the plan as progress is seen. Clients are invited to give feedback so the style and pace match their needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people see facial cues and practise exercises together. Phone sessions can feel simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, maintaining momentum between longer sessions, or for people who find typing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily routines while still using the therapist's chosen approaches.
