About Christine
Christine OPrey is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of practice. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Christine works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or life changes and who want practical ways to cope.
She uses straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding. Sessions are aimed at short, manageable steps so clients can see change between meetings.
Background and approach
Christine listens, asks questions, and helps people make plans that fit their everyday life. Her experience covers a broad range of concerns including panic, phobias, trauma, grief, anger and issues with self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with parenting strains, sleeping difficulties, attention differences such as ADHD, bipolar mood patterns, and compassion fatigue.
Christine helps people work through relationship and family problems from an individual perspective, and she can address topics such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems and divorce or separation stress. Work on control issues, guilt and shame, body image and isolation are also part of her practice. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or messaging.
Christine works in English and does not take international clients. To begin clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions to suit their needs.

Practical approaches and online support for parenting stress
Christine draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people make tangible changes. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood; it helps with panic, phobias and stress by breaking problems into small, manageable steps. Another useful method emphasises gradual exposure and coping skills for trauma-related symptoms and avoidance patterns, helping people face difficult memories or situations in a controlled way.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, test what helps, and adjust techniques as needed. Clients and therapist decide together which methods feel most useful and practical for day-to-day life.
Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation when more connection is wanted. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing, need brief check-ins during the day, or want therapy that fits around busy parenting routines. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, childcare and other commitments.
