About Christie
Christie Henderson welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. She writes simply and directly, making space for concerns such as stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, parenting pressures and life transitions. Christie is named up front so readers know who they are considering meeting.
Christie is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated BACP. She brings five years of work in the United Kingdom helping people find steadier ground.
How Christie works
Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a fixed programme. Her approach is practical and conversational. She uses client-centred conversations to help people feel heard and to clarify what matters most.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to build awareness and reduce reactivity when anxiety or stress feels intense. When trauma or long-standing patterns are present, Christie uses trauma-focused and somatic ideas to help people notice how their body holds tension and to find grounded ways to respond. Solution-focused work is used alongside these tools to set small, achievable goals and track progress.
Christie aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She helps people chart small steps toward clearer thinking, calmer days and better routines. If someone wants support with grief, addiction, identity questions or career strain, she works collaboratively to create a plan that fits their life.

How Christie’s approaches work online
Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of each session. Online, this means Christie listens first, follows what matters to you, and helps you set the pace rather than imposing a rigid plan. It suits people who need empathic listening and clearer priorities.Mindfulness therapy offers simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce stress and reactivity. Delivered by video or phone, these exercises can be practised together in a session and repeated between meetings to help with anxiety, sleep or anger.
Solution-focused work emphasises small, practical steps and measurable progress. Online sessions are useful for setting short-term goals and checking in by message or brief calls to keep momentum.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Christie will talk with you about what you want to change, try different tools, and agree the best mix of methods for your needs and preferences. The therapeutic plan can be adjusted as you make progress.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you meet face to face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short coaching-style conversations, or when a written record of the discussion helps you reflect. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments.
