About Christine
Christine Coyle is a counsellor with seven years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and draws on a background in psychology and criminology. Christine works with adults on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress and self-esteem.
She also offers support around parenting challenges and addiction-related issues. Christine has worked in the charity sector and now runs her own counselling and holistic therapies practice. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth.
Background and approach
She focuses on building simple tools clients can use day to day to improve mood and coping. Sessions combine person-centred listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns and solution-focused work to set clear goals.
That mix helps clients understand themselves and try different ways of managing problems. Christine often supports people dealing with trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and body image or eating issues. She pays particular attention to helping women with low self-worth and to people coping with major life changes and caregiver stress.
Her sessions aim to be warm and non-judgemental. Christine encourages small, practical steps and collaborative problem solving so clients can move towards the changes they want.

How Christine's approaches work online
Client-centred therapy puts the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects concerns back, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building trust and exploring emotional challenges such as low self-worth or relationship strain.Cognitive behavioural therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and looks for practical changes. Clients learn exercises to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviours that improve mood. This method can help with anxiety, depression, parenting stress and coping with life changes.
Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and increase present-moment awareness. It supports people in noticing stress and choosing calmer responses rather than reacting on habit.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss options and adapt methods based on a client's goals, preferences and symptoms. Therapy is collaborative - she helps people test what feels most helpful and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls let you see facial cues and work interactively, phone sessions require less bandwidth, and live chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These formats increase flexibility for parents, people with mobility limits, or those who need shorter, more frequent contact.
