About Christine
Christine OPrey is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years' experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She offers straightforward, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood.
Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage panic, trauma and complicated grief. She works with common concerns such as sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem struggles and the impact of ADHD or bipolar on daily life.
How Christine works
Christine also addresses relational issues that affect individuals, including communication problems, codependency and parenting strain. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps. Conversations aim to identify patterns that keep problems going and to build new coping habits.
She helps people practise skills between sessions so progress carries into day-to-day life. Her approach is practical and goal oriented while remaining warm and direct. People often come for short-term work to address a specific problem, or for longer support through big life changes and recovery from abuse or trauma.
Christine works with adults on a range of emotional and behavioural concerns. She delivers therapy by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to suit different schedules. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect a person with the right support and plan.

How evidence-based techniques work online
Christine commonly draws on well-established, evidence-based techniques that help people change thoughts and behaviours. Cognitive approaches focus on spotting thinking patterns that make anxiety and low mood worse, then learning different ways of thinking and acting to reduce distress. Behavioural strategies help people gradually face fears and rebuild routines that improve sleep and mood.She also uses practical skills training to manage overwhelming feelings and build everyday coping tools. This can include paced breathing for panic, activity planning for low mood, and problem-solving for family or parenting stress. These techniques are aimed at specific problems and are taught step by step during sessions.
Finding the best approach is shared work. The therapist will talk through what feels most helpful, try methods together, and adjust the plan as goals change. Clients and the therapist choose techniques that suit the person's needs and preferences, so progress stays relevant and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and skill practice, phone sessions suit people with lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging can be a short check-in between live sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life while keeping the focus on practical change.
