About Christie
Christie Breen offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or big life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely so a parent can explain their worries and feel heard. Christie aims to help people find clearer direction and steadier days through straightforward conversation and tools that fit busy lives.
Christie brings seven years of therapy experience alongside other professional roles in education and business. That background helps her relate to work pressures, career crossroads and the strain of caring responsibilities.
How Christie works
She uses techniques drawn from several approaches to suit each person's needs rather than a single rigid method. Sessions focus on what matters now. Christie asks clear questions, helps spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and introduces mindfulness exercises to calm the nervous system.
She also explores how early relationships and attachment can shape current reactions and choices. Her work includes practical support for relationship stress, grief, addiction concerns, mood difficulties and coping with transitions. Christie also addresses issues such as self-esteem, communication problems, codependency and feeling isolated.
She aims to give manageable steps people can try between sessions. Christie is registered as NCPS and works with people across the United Kingdom. She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients, using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or messaging to suit different schedules and needs.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns can affect current reactions and emotional responses. Christie uses this to help people understand why they may feel stuck in certain relationship or emotional cycles and to find new ways of relating to themselves and others.Client-centred therapy places the person's priorities at the heart of each session. It involves careful listening, acceptance and allowing the client to lead the pace so that goals are shaped around what matters to them. This approach is useful for people who need a steady, empathetic space to make sense of difficult feelings.
Cognitive behavioural methods focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing practical experiments that change feelings and behaviour. These tools are often helpful for anxiety, low mood and managing unhelpful habit patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christie treats this as a collaboration and will discuss options based on a person's needs, goals and preferences. She often combines elements from different methods and checks in regularly to see what is helping.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break, while live chat or text messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing contact between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around school runs, work and caring duties, and to continue work when travel or location would otherwise be a barrier.
