Christina Griffin
Compassionate counsellor for stress and relationships
About Christina
Christina Griffin is a counsellor credentialed with NCPS in the United Kingdom. She has three years of professional experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship strain. Christina aims to make the first steps into therapy easier and more manageable for someone under pressure.
She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and practical ways to get there.
Background and approach
Conversations are collaborative and paced to suit each individual. Christina draws on approaches such as client-centred work to centre the person’s own goals. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviours.
Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas sometimes inform deeper reflection about patterns from the past. Typical topics include relationship difficulties, self-esteem and motivation, grief and loss, and coping with chronic illness or caregiver stress. She also supports people facing issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, body image or eating-related difficulties.
Sessions are offered in English and can take place online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Christina explains how therapy works, helps set clear goals, and checks progress so people can judge whether it is helping. Taking the first step can feel hard.
Christina aims to listen openly, respond without judgement and work with each person toward clearer choices and small, practical changes.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Christina uses client-centred work to keep the person’s own priorities at the heart of sessions. This approach means the client’s views and goals shape the pace and focus, which can help when uncertainty or low motivation makes choices hard.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build different habits, useful for anxiety, low mood and confidence issues.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christina will discuss different methods, try approaches that fit the issue, and adapt plans based on what helps most. The decision is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that matters, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can suit shorter check-ins or days with low energy. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility limits while keeping a steady therapeutic relationship.
