Christina Murphy
Practical, relationship-focused counselling
About Christina
Christina Murphy is a BACP counsellor who builds a working relationship on trust, acceptance and non-judgement. She offers straightforward support for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed and helps them find practical starting points for change. Christina focuses on relationships, trauma and stress-related problems.
She helps people dealing with anxiety, low mood, grief and difficulties with intimacy. She also supports those coping with career strain, anger, sleep problems and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Her way of working puts the person at the centre. Sessions aim to make space for difficult thoughts and emotions and to examine beliefs that no longer help. Christina uses talking and practical tools to gently challenge old patterns and build new ways of responding.
People can expect a calm, accepting presence and clear steps to try between sessions. She explains options simply so people can choose what feels manageable at their pace. Change may be gradual or quicker depending on the issue and goals.
Christina has three years of experience and holds BACP registration, which signals adherence to national professional standards. She offers counselling in English and works with people in the United Kingdom. To begin, she guides each person through a brief matching process and scheduling so therapy can fit around everyday life.
Sessions are offered in several online formats to suit different needs and routines.

How Christina's approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. Online sessions can help people notice attachment patterns, understand where worry or mistrust comes from, and practise new ways of relating to others.Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The therapist offers an accepting, non-judgemental space so someone can speak freely about feelings and make sense of their own experience. This approach can be helpful for low self-worth, grief and life changes.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. In short practical steps clients can test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christina works collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person's goals and comfort level. She invites feedback and adjusts the plan as needs and priorities become clearer.
Online work offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion, phone sessions can be a lighter option with no camera, live chat suits brief check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it simpler to keep continuity of care when schedules or locations change.
