Christine Willis, BACP

Christine Willis welcomes people who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and addiction. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, anger and the strain of big life changes. Christine is introduced here as a counsellor with BACP registration and eight years of experience in the UK.

She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can say difficult things. Conversations are practical and down-to-earth. Work is guided by what each person needs, not a fixed script.

Christine blends different ways of working to match the issue at hand. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and psychodynamic ideas are all drawn on to understand patterns and try new responses. Sessions aim to make thoughts and feelings easier to manage and to build clearer choices for day-to-day life.

She has experience supporting people after bereavement and domestic violence, and with problems linked to addiction and long-term illness such as cancer. That background helps when emotional pain is mixed up with real-life stresses and practical decisions.

Appointments are offered from the United Kingdom and Christine can work with people in English. She encourages an initial conversation to find out whether her style feels like a good fit before booking further sessions.

How Christine's approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room, offering a listening, accepting stance so people can make sense of their feelings and decide what matters to them. It is helpful for building self-worth and reducing isolation.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to try different ways of coping. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems.

Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to long-standing patterns and past experiences that shape how someone reacts now, which can help when problems repeat across relationships or life stages.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Christine will discuss options and try methods that fit a person’s goals and daily life. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted as needs change.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also be useful where quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are preferable, and many people find it helps them maintain continuity of care even when life is busy.
