Christina Murphy

Christina Murphy is a counsellor who focuses on helping people through change. She works from a relationship built on trust, acceptance and non-judgement. Christina aims to help clients notice old beliefs and habits that no longer serve them and to consider new ways forward. Christina uses a mix of therapeutic tools and keeps work practical. She helps people name difficult thoughts and feelings and look at how those patterns affect daily life. The pace of change is set with the person in front of her; some goals move quickly and some take more time. Her approach puts the relationship first. That means listening without blame and offering steady support while people sort through painful memories or current stresses. She encourages self-compassion as a way to face hard emotions like grief, shame or anger. Christina combines attachment-based ideas with client-centred ways of working and cognitive behavioural techniques. This mix is used to help with worries, low mood, relationship strain, sleep problems and feelings of being stuck. She also works with issues such as compassion fatigue, codependency and control struggles. Based in the United Kingdom, Christina draws on three years of experience and holds BACP registration. She offers sessions in English and asks people to use the booking process to match with her and arrange an appointment.

How Christina's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people notice how they connect and respond to others and to feelings of abandonment or mistrust. Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor offering attentive listening, empathy and acceptance to help someone find their own answers. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses straightforward exercises to change unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood or sleep problems.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Christina will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. This is collaborative, and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep sessions during work breaks or when travel would be difficult. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often find that these practical benefits help therapy feel more manageable alongside everyday commitments.
