Christine Viner, BACP

Christine Viner is a BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) registered therapeutic counsellor based in Lincolnshire, England. She has five years of practice experience and has worked in the NHS, social care, with people with physical disabilities, and with armed forces personnel and their families. Christine describes a person-centred approach and focuses on listening closely to each person’s experience before agreeing a way forward.

Her work is straightforward and practical. She will sit with clients, listen to what they are living through, and help build a plan for sessions and communication that suits the individual. The emphasis is on creating a sense of trust, belonging and stability so people can move forward at a pace that feels right.

Christine helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns. She also supports those facing parenting challenges, career stress, anger, low self-esteem, and the emotional impact of health issues. Other areas she commonly addresses include trauma and abuse, ADHD, compassion fatigue and isolation.

Her therapeutic style draws on person-centred values and related approaches that focus on emotions and attachments. Sessions aim to explore feelings, improve communication patterns, and find small, practical steps that reduce distress. Christine adapts the rhythm and structure of sessions to each person’s needs and preferences.

People considering therapy are encouraged to contact Christine to discuss whether her way of working feels suitable. She can discuss availability, including some evening appointments, and how to arrange sessions to fit the client’s routine.

How Christine’s approaches inform online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and feelings. It helps people who struggle with trust, connection or repeated relationship patterns by naming those patterns and testing new ways of relating. Client-centred counselling puts the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. It involves careful listening, reflecting feelings back, and working at a pace that suits the individual to build understanding and self-direction. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and work with strong emotions in the moment. It is useful where grief, trauma, intense anxiety or relationship pain are present and when emotional change is the aim.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Christine will talk with clients about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. The plan can change as therapy progresses, with a focus on what helps the person feel steadier and more able to cope.

The practical benefits of online therapy include greater flexibility to fit sessions around work, family or medical appointments, and the chance to meet from different locations without extra travel time.
