Christie Henderson
Practical support for stress, trauma and life change
About Christie
Christie Henderson makes time for people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to turn. She meets clients with calm, plain-speaking support and focuses on what will help in day-to-day life. Christie is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide an ethical practice.
She offers short-term and longer-term work for a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addiction, ADHD, grief and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Christie also supports people dealing with career pressures, body image and eating or sleeping difficulties. Christie uses several practical approaches and adapts them to each person. Client-Centred Therapy means sessions follow what matters most to the client.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and can reduce rumination. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for manageable steps that move you forward quickly. Sessions are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Christie pays attention to what has helped before and what gets in the way now. She works with people to set realistic goals and reviews progress along the way. Her style is respectful and down-to-earth.
Christie aims to create a space where people can talk honestly, learn new ways to cope, and make small changes that add up over time.

Sessions & fees
How Christie’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the client’s concerns at the heart of sessions and lets the therapist follow what matters most to the person. This approach helps when people want space to be heard and to explore their own priorities before choosing next steps. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices and breathing techniques to reduce worry and improve sleep and focus; it often helps with anxiety and rumination. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on stabilising current symptoms and building safety in the body and mind, and can be useful for people recovering from abuse or distressing events.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christie will talk with each person about goals, preferences and past experiences and then suggest ways of working together. Decisions about methods and session length are made collaboratively and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing body language matters. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a simpler check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter or more frequent check-ins and can suit people who prefer typing. These options give practical flexibility for different schedules and situations.
