Christine Viner

Christine Viner is a BACP registered counsellor based in Lincolnshire, England. She has five years' experience and has worked in the NHS, social care, with people with physical disabilities, and with members of the armed forces and their families. Christine focuses on listening carefully and helping people find practical ways to cope with stress, anxiety, grief, anger and other life challenges.

Her core approach is person-centred, which means she starts by understanding how each person experiences the world. Sessions are shaped around what the client needs, with Christine supporting them to set small, workable goals. She will sit with you, listen without rushing, and help design a structure for sessions and communication that feels manageable.

Christine also draws on attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused ways of looking at relationships when relevant. These approaches help when past relationships or patterns make current situations difficult to manage. She uses solution-focused techniques to help people identify next steps and try them out between sessions.

People contact her for many concerns, including parenting pressures, relationship difficulties, bereavement, work stress, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She aims to create a sense of trust and stability while helping people take practical steps forward.

If someone would like to explore working together they can start the referral process and discuss appointment times, including evening slots which are managed in her diary.

How Christine’s approaches work in online therapy

Christine uses a person-centred foundation alongside attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas to guide online work. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and help people understand and change repeated patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on recognising and naming emotions, then working with them to improve how someone responds in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide together which ideas to use. That collaborative choice helps shape sessions so they feel relevant and doable for the person in front of her.

Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier fitting of sessions around work or caregiving, less travel time and a quicker way to check in between commitments. Because session options are not specified in the biography, clients should confirm the current online formats available before booking. The focus is on making therapy work around everyday life so progress can continue between meetings.
