About Christie
Christie Henderson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and changes in life. Christie uses a respectful, sensitive approach and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical.
She draws on five years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP, British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Christie tailors each session to the person in front of her, shaping the pace and focus to suit individual needs. Sessions are aimed at helping people manage day-to-day struggles and rebuild a sense of balance.
Christie commonly helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, self-esteem and identity questions, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those facing challenges linked to chronic illness, caregiving, or major life transitions. Christie works with issues related to ADHD, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach draws on client-centred listening, mindfulness practices, somatic techniques that focus on body awareness, and solution-focused ideas that aim for clear, achievable steps. In practice this might look like guided breathing, noticing physical sensations, and setting small goals between sessions.
Christie asks new clients to use a short matching questionnaire to get started and to schedule sessions according to availability. She aims to offer a calm, practical space where people can talk things through and try different ways to feel better.

Approaches that translate to online support
Client-centred work focuses on listening and following the person's lead, helping them feel heard and understood. This approach is useful for many issues, including stress, relationship concerns and grief. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce overwhelm and ease anxiety symptoms. These practices can be done in short exercises between sessions. Solution-focused therapy aims for small, practical steps and clear goals, which suits people who want to see measurable change over time.Finding the right mix of approaches is a process the therapist undertakes with each client. Christie discusses goals, preferences and what has worked in the past, then adjusts methods so the work fits the person's needs. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions relevant and manageable.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use practices such as guided breathing or body awareness in their own daily routines. Talk with Christie during the matching stage about practical arrangements and what will work best for your situation.
