Christine McInnes, BACP

Christine McInnes offers a calm, straightforward style for people coping with major life stresses. She focuses on making space to recognise strengths and to build on what already works. Christine uses simple, clear conversation so people can begin to feel steadier and more able to cope.

She invites clients to notice parts of themselves they may have pushed aside. That can help with feelings of emptiness, attachment worries, or problems following separation. Christine also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addiction and long-term health challenges such as chronic illness or cancer-related stress.

Her sessions centre on listening without judgement and on helping people find their own answers. Christine draws on client-centred ways of working that prioritise the person's experience. She also uses attachment-focused and psychodynamic ideas to look at relationship patterns and early influences.

Motivational interviewing features when change feels difficult, for example with drug or alcohol use. Trauma-focused methods are used sensitively for those affected by past harm or abuse. Christine aims to match techniques to each person's pace and readiness rather than imposing a single method.

She is a BACP - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom. Christine has five years of experience and offers sessions in English. If this style feels like a fit, people can take a first step to explore it further.

How therapeutic approaches work in online counselling

Christine often uses client-centred work, which means sessions focus on the person's own experience and pace; this approach helps people feel heard and make choices that suit them. Attachment-based ideas are also part of her practice and look at how early relationship patterns influence current difficulties, which can be useful for relationship worries and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Christine will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and comfort level, and she adapts over time as needs change. That collaborative planning helps ensure the work matches what a person wants to achieve.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, reducing travel time and allowing meetings around work or caregiving. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a brief conversation is needed, and alternative ways of connecting can suit people who prefer not to use video. Registered or accredited professionals can use these different arrangements to help therapy fit more smoothly into everyday routines.
