About Christina
Christina Steele is a UK-based counsellor with a warm, straightforward approach. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, intimacy concerns and parenting. Christina aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and supportive.
She believes people know their own story and already hold strengths that can guide change. Sessions are collaborative - she listens, reflects, and helps clients set clear goals. The emphasis is on building confidence and practical ways to cope day to day.
Background and approach
Christina draws on body-aware methods alongside trauma-focused work. That means attention to bodily reactions as well as the story behind them. The aim is to reduce overwhelming reactions and help people feel more settled in themselves.
Therapy sessions are tailored to each person. Christina works at a pace the client finds comfortable and adapts techniques to suit real-life needs. She encourages short-term strategies as well as deeper work when required.
Over 12 years of practice, Christina has supported people through tough life moments and helped them find steadier ground. She welcomes questions about how therapy might fit around family life and daily routines. Taking the first step is a big move, and she aims to make it easier to take that step.

How somatic and trauma-focused approaches work online
Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily signals such as breathing, tension and movement. Online sessions can help people notice and gently alter those reactions so they feel less overwhelming and more manageable in daily life. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at the impact of past harm on current feelings and behaviour. In remote work this approach uses conversations and simple grounded exercises to reduce distress and support recovery.Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Christina will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, pace and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions remove the need for video, and live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help fit sessions around work, school runs and other daily demands while keeping continuity of care with a therapist experienced in somatic and trauma-focused work.
