About Christine

Christine Coyle is a counsellor with seven years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and works with adults who are seeking practical ways to feel better. Her manner is warm and down-to-earth, so people often find it easier to talk through difficult feelings with her.

She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the conversation focused on each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy are used to build everyday skills that reduce anxiety, lift mood, and manage unhelpful thinking.

Background and approach

Psychodynamic and Solution-Focused approaches help untangle past patterns and set clear steps forward. Christine has worked in the charity sector and now runs her own counselling and holistic therapies practice. That background means she understands both practical pressures and emotional strain.

She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and addiction find steady coping strategies. Common areas she supports include self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, body image and issues linked to attachment and abandonment. She also works with people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress, and substance-related problems.

Work together tends to focus on small, usable techniques and clear problem-solving steps. Sessions are offered in English and Christine accepts international clients. She is straightforward about the process and helps clients make realistic plans for change.

If someone wants to begin, they are guided through the practical steps to set up their first appointment.

Sessions & fees

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping a person find their own path; online this means conversations stay focused on the person’s priorities and pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours and introduces practical exercises; this works well in video or phone sessions where homework and short skill drills are set between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing exercises to calm the body and mind, which can be practised during live sessions or via short text prompts.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and practical needs and then agree a plan together. That collaborative approach helps refine which methods suit the person best as therapy progresses.

Online formats offer practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions let someone speak without being on camera and can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins or written reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
