About Christie
Christie Henderson is a UK-based counsellor who focuses on supporting parents and people facing stress and life changes. She works in clear, practical ways and aims to help clients feel less overwhelmed. Christie uses short, steady steps to help people move forward at their own pace.
Christie draws on five years of professional experience and practises with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She offers a tailored approach for issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, relationship strain and parenting concerns.
Background and approach
She also addresses problems linked to addiction, sleep, eating and career stress. Her work can include talking through past trauma and how it affects daily life. Christie uses client-centred listening to help people feel heard, and she brings mindfulness and somatic ideas to help with body-related stress and tension.
Solution-focused techniques are used to identify practical next steps and small changes that make a difference. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs, with plans adjusted as goals evolve. Christie accepts that taking the first step is hard and aims to make the process manageable and respectful.
Her approach is straightforward and down-to-earth, aimed at practical relief rather than jargon. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and offers work for people in the United Kingdom. Sessions are conducted in English and are suited to those who want a collaborative, step-by-step way of working through parenting and related life stresses.

Practical approaches for online parenting support
Christie combines client-centred work with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help people manage parenting stress and related concerns. Client-centred therapy means she listens without judgement and builds the work around what matters to the client. Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce day-to-day anxiety and help with sleep and eating issues. Solution-focused therapy looks at small, achievable steps and practical changes to move problems forward rather than dwelling on what went wrong.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christie will check what matters to the client, try methods that fit their goals, and adjust the way of working as progress is made. The aim is to find usable strategies that suit each person’s life and preferences, not to stick rigidly to one method.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief updates, reflection between sessions or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats help fit therapy around work, school runs and family life.
