Christie Breen
Calm, practical help for stress and life change
About Christie
Christie Breen offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or big life changes. She helps clients who are struggling with low self-esteem, relationship strains, work pressure and coping after loss. Christie explains things plainly and focuses on small, useful steps that fit everyday life.
Christie brings seven years of therapy experience alongside a wider background in education and business. That mix helps her understand how work and family pressures can knock people off course.
Background and approach
She uses straightforward tools to manage strong emotions and build steadier routines. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices. Sessions are conversational and centred on the person rather than on jargon.
Christie asks clear questions and offers practical exercises to try between meetings. People often seek help for anxiety, depression, addiction struggles, grief, anger or relationship difficulties. She also supports those facing career crossroads, midlife questions, caregiver stress and issues around identity and self-worth.
Christie pays attention to patterns that repeat across a person’s life and helps find ways to change them. Sessions may include guided mindfulness, thought-challenging exercises and exploration of personal history to understand present reactions. The aim is to increase emotional awareness, improve communication and create realistic action steps.
Christie works with English-speaking clients in the United Kingdom and internationally via online formats. Starting therapy involves a short matching questionnaire and booking a time that suits the client. Christie uses a subscription model for sessions which can be cancelled at any time.

How Christie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Christie combines attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness in ways that suit online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and responses, helping clients understand why they react a certain way in close relationships. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing practices to manage stress and increase calm in daily life.Choosing the right mix of approaches is a team effort. Christie will talk with clients about goals, preferences and how they like to work. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made, making small changes when something does not feel helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing between sessions or who want to reflect before replying. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel.
