About Christine

Christine Willis welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, grief or low self-esteem. She offers a calm space to talk through feelings linked to depression, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and intimacy-related issues. Christine is named here as Christine Willis and she is listed with BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She uses a mix of approaches in conversation rather than a single method. That means sessions can include straightforward problem-solving, looking at patterns of thought and behaviour, and talking about past experiences that still influence life now. Christine aims to listen without judgement and respond in a warm, open way.

Her style is patient and practical. People can expect to map current difficulties, try small changes between sessions and reflect on what helps or gets in the way. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her and on workable steps they want to try.

Christine brings eight years' experience working with a broad range of concerns, including bereavement and domestic violence. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy to shape the work together. Christine is based in the United Kingdom and offers her service in English.

If someone is thinking about starting, the usual next step is to select the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are. Online work with this approach means the counsellor follows the person's lead, reflects feelings and helps them find their own solutions. It is useful for people who need a steady, accepting space to talk about emotions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. In online sessions this often involves setting specific goals, trying practical exercises and reviewing what helped between meetings. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, stress, low mood and problems with coping strategies.

Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to past relationships and patterns that influence current feelings. Online conversations can help identify repeated themes and make sense of how old patterns affect present behaviour and relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. The therapist will work with the person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences, and they will adjust the plan as the work progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy routine, reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online work makes it easier to maintain continuity while juggling everyday commitments.
