About Christine
Christine Viner is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She draws on five years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief and other life challenges. Christine aims to create a steady, respectful space where parents and individuals can talk about what matters to them.
Sessions are organised to fit each person’s needs and routine. Christine’s background includes work in the NHS, social care and with people who have physical disabilities.
Background and approach
She has also provided support to members of the armed forces and their families. This range of experience informs a flexible, down-to-earth approach to therapy. Her way of working is rooted in client-centred practice.
That means the conversation starts with how a person experiences their situation. Christine listens closely and helps clients shape a plan for their sessions together. She uses attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and Emotionally-Focused Therapy principles to help people name and move through strong feelings.
Solution-focused techniques are used to set practical steps and small goals between sessions. Christine commonly helps people dealing with parenting stress, relationship strains, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief and career questions. She pays attention to family dynamics, communication problems and issues such as adoption, fatherhood and blended families when they affect an individual’s wellbeing.
People meet with Christine by video, phone, chat or messaging. International clients may be supported in English. She arranges sessions to fit people’s availability and works collaboratively on a path forward.

Therapeutic approaches used online and how they help
Christine combines client-centred work with attachment-based ideas to help people understand their relationships and emotional responses. Client-centred therapy means sessions begin with the person’s own experience, and the counsellor listens without judging to help clarify what matters most. Attachment-based approaches look at how early bonds shape current patterns, which can be useful for people noticing repeating relationship difficulties or parent-child tensions.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and move through powerful emotions. EFT focuses on recognising emotional patterns in relationships and making changes that restore connection and trust. These approaches are offered collaboratively - the therapist and client decide together which methods feel right for the situation and goals.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or when a camera is not wanted. Live chat and messaging can support shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection and practical coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work and daily life, and Christine will work with each person to find what best matches their schedule and needs.
