About Christina
Christina Griffin is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Christina aims to make the first step easier for people who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

How Christina works
Christina draws on a range of approaches to meet different needs. She uses client-centred work to help people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps when patterns of thinking and behaviour are getting in the way.
She also brings mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas into sessions when they suit the work. Mindfulness can help with ongoing anxiety and stress. Psychodynamic ideas support looking at long-standing patterns that affect relationships and self-esteem.
People turn to Christina for help with a wide range of difficulties, including attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, communication and control issues, divorce and domestic violence. She also supports those coping with eating-related concerns and the emotional fallout from disasters. Christina works in English and offers a supportive, steady approach.
She focuses on helping each person identify small, realistic changes they can practise between sessions.

Online support options
Approaches you can use online
Christina commonly blends client-centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what matters most to the person, which helps when people need to feel heard. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process and Christina treats it as a collaboration. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try approaches that fit, and adjust the plan as work progresses so therapy stays relevant and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions around work, care responsibilities or mobility limits. Video lets you use face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls use less bandwidth and can suit brief check-ins. Live chat and messaging allow shorter, more frequent contact and written reflections between sessions. These options aim to give practical flexibility while keeping the therapeutic focus on real change and coping skills.
