Background and approach

Her practice includes helping those affected by ADHD, bipolar experiences, and compassion fatigue. Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people break down difficult problems into manageable steps. Sessions are aimed at creating practical strategies for coping, reducing distress, and building skills that can be used day to day.

She keeps explanations plain and focuses on clear, achievable goals. People who come to her often want help with communication, codependency, commitment worries, or feeling isolated. She also supports those dealing with body image, hoarding, guilt and shame, or the aftermath of relationship separation.

Christine works in English and sees clients across the UK. Therapy is offered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Appointments are scheduled after completing a short matching questionnaire and booking according to therapist availability.

How evidence-based methods work online

Christine uses widely used evidence-based approaches that focus on thought and behaviour change. Cognitive behavioural techniques help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding to worry, anxiety and phobias. This approach works well for panic, specific fears and sleep problems.

She also draws on practical skills-based work that teaches breathing, grounding and activity planning to reduce overwhelm. These tools are useful for managing anger, stress and compassion fatigue because they give clear steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right method is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try approaches that fit those aims. Together they review what helps and adapt the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make contact easier. Video works well for longer, interactive sessions and skills practice. Phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit short updates, homework and quick coping reminders. These options give flexibility for people juggling work, parenting or busy days.
