About Christine
Christine Viner is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has five years of practice and experience working in varied settings including the NHS and social care. Christine also has experience supporting people with physical disabilities and with those connected to the armed forces.
Christine works from a person-centred perspective. She listens first and finds out how each person experiences their world. This helps her tailor sessions so they meet the client's needs rather than fitting people into a fixed mould.
How Christine works
Her approach is practical and collaborative. Sessions begin with a conversation about what matters most and a simple plan for how to structure work together. Christine aims to help people build steadier routines, clearer communication and firmer emotional footing.
She supports people with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief and depression, and with relationship and family difficulties. Additional areas she addresses include parenting, career questions, compassion fatigue and challenges linked to ADHD and attachment. Christine uses elements from attachment-based, emotionally-focused and solution-focused ways of working alongside a client-centred foundation.
She tailors tools and pacing to each person and reviews progress as work continues. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or messaging. Christine aims to make therapy flexible so it fits around work, family and everyday life.

Online support options
Approaches that suit online counselling
Attachment-based work focuses on how early connections shape current relationships and feelings. Online sessions help people look at patterns of closeness and distance and practise different ways of relating in day-to-day life.Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is heard and follows the client's pace to help clarify priorities and choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and shift difficult emotions so they can respond differently in relationships or personal challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will discuss options openly. Together the person and counsellor decide which methods match the client's goals, needs and preferences, and they review progress as work continues.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat or messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video allows fuller interaction, phone needs less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in, and messaging suits brief updates or people who prefer writing. These formats offer flexibility and better access for people juggling work, family or mobility considerations.
