About Christie
Christie Henderson is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and parenting concerns. Christie also supports people facing grief, changes in mood, addiction-related worries and issues affecting self-esteem.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Christie draws on client-centred ways of working to focus on what matters to the person in front of her. She uses mindfulness practices to help with overwhelming feelings and solution-focused steps to identify small, manageable changes.
Christie also incorporates somatic and trauma-focused ideas when past events or bodily tension are part of the problem. That can mean paying attention to physical reactions in the body and using gentle techniques to reduce ongoing stress responses. She explains these ideas plainly and works at a pace the client finds comfortable.
Her aim is to help people sort through immediate problems and find simple tools to use between sessions. Typical topics include parenting strain, intimacy-related concerns, coping with life changes, and balancing career and family demands. Christie will discuss options and plans in the first meetings and agree next steps together.
Sessions are conducted in English. Christie does not accept international clients at this time. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Christie uses therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping the person set the agenda. Online sessions using this approach concentrate on understanding what feels most urgent and building solutions from the client's own goals. Mindfulness Therapy includes simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and to bring moments of calm during busy days. These practices are often short and can be practised between sessions to manage anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christie will discuss different ways of working in early meetings and choose methods together based on what the client needs and prefers. The plan can change over time if something is not helpful, and the client is involved in deciding the next steps.
Please confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-in meetings when needed, and letting people join from a quieter place when possible. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often use these practical benefits to help people balance sessions with work, parenting and other daily demands.
