About Christine
Christine Coyle is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. She works with adults who bring concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, addiction and parenting strain. Christine also lists relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and body image problems, and LGBT concerns among her focus areas.
Her background includes psychology and criminology, and time spent working in the charity sector before running her own counselling and holistic therapies business. She prefers short, practical techniques that people can use in daily life to change how they think and act. Sessions are described as collaborative and direct, aimed at identifying steps a person can take between meetings.
Christine draws on client-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural and mindfulness methods. She also uses psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas to look at patterns from the past and set clear, achievable goals. This mix is used to help people manage symptoms and tackle specific problems such as low self-esteem, trauma-related issues, or substance use concerns.
She often helps people who struggle with attachment, abandonment feelings, communication problems and the stress of caregiving. Christine also supports adults coping with chronic illness, bereavement, divorce and forgiveness issues, offering practical strategies to make day-to-day life steadier.
If someone chooses to start, they are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. Christine sees clients in English and accepts international clients; session cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How Christine uses her therapeutic approaches online
Client-centred work focuses on what the person brings each week and on listening without judgement. It helps people feel heard and guides the pace of work according to their needs.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It gives practical exercises to try between sessions, which can help with anxiety, depression and some stress-related issues.
Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and help people cope with difficult emotions. These practices can be used alongside other methods to manage daily stress and intrusive thoughts.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques and adjust the focus based on what helps most. This means plans can change over time as needs and preferences become clearer.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and can allow shorter check-ins or telephone conversations when video is not practical. Registered or accredited professionals commonly find online sessions convenient for people balancing work, childcare or travel, and Christine will help set a practical plan that fits everyday life.
