About Christina
Christina Tremaine offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, bereavement and life transitions. She writes in a warm, down-to-earth way and aims to make talking about hard things easier. Christina presents herself as empathic and non-judgemental, and she focuses on helping each person find practical ways forward.
Christina has 25 years of experience working in community settings and for the NHS. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has supported people with grief, depression, addictions, trauma and relationship difficulties.
How Christina works
Her practice also includes work around sleeping problems, parenting strain, workplace issues and ADHD-related concerns. Her approach mixes several methods to suit individual needs. Christina draws on attachment-based thinking to explore how early relationships shape current feelings, and she uses client-centred skills to build a respectful, listening relationship.
Cognitive behavioural techniques may be used to spot unhelpful thinking and try alternatives. She also brings emotionally-focused and existential ideas into sessions to help people tackle intense emotions and questions about meaning. Christina says she will tailor conversations and plans to each person’s situation rather than following a fixed script.
That may include short practical tasks between sessions. Christina aims to create a compassionate space where people can take the first steps towards change. Her style is described as interactive and respectful, concentrating on what matters most to the individual.

How Christina blends approaches for online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current emotional reactions and closeness. It can help people who notice repeated difficulties in trust, abandonment worries or intense emotional responses. Client-centred therapy focuses on being heard and respected; it gives people space to tell their story and to make choices at their own pace. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and then practices small experiments to test new ways of coping.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Christina will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning means the approach can shift if something is not helpful.
Online work offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who have lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief reflections or people who process better in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while still receiving consistent professional support.
