Christine Viner
Person-centred counsellor helping people feel steadier
About Christine
Christine Viner is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She draws on five years of practice to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life change. Christine aims to create a calm space where clients can be heard and begin to make practical steps forward.
She trained in a person-centred approach, which means she focuses on each person as an individual. Christine pays attention to how someone experiences their world and responds to problems.
Background and approach
Together she and the client shape the pace and structure of sessions to meet specific needs. Christine also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect feelings and behaviour. She can help people with relationship concerns, parenting strains, communication problems, and issues related to loss or trauma.
Sessions can include short-term solution-focused work to tackle immediate problems, alongside deeper emotional work when that feels necessary. Christine will listen, help people identify small changes, and support steps that match each person’s goals. She has experience working in NHS and social care settings and supporting people with physical disabilities and those connected to the armed forces.
Christine offers sessions in English and accepts international clients for online work. If someone wishes to begin, they follow the site’s matching process to arrange an initial appointment.

How Christine’s approaches work in online therapy
Christine uses person-centred work and attachment-informed ideas to guide online sessions. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening closely to the client's experience and following their pace; it helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to talk and make sense of feelings. Attachment-informed work looks at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect emotions and behaviour, which can help with relationship worries, parenting challenges and feelings of insecurity.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working that fit. That might mean short-term solution-focused tasks for a practical problem, or deeper emotional work over several sessions depending on need.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make access easier. Video is useful for a face-to-face feel, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging can suit ongoing check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and travel commitments.
