About Christine
Christine Viner is a BACP counsellor based in Lincolnshire, England, with five years' experience. She has worked in the NHS, social care, with people with physical disabilities, and with members of the armed forces and their families. Christine lists family and parenting among her areas of focus and regularly helps with relationship strain, stress, anxiety, grief and change.
Her practice draws on a person-centred foundation. That means she pays attention to how each person experiences their world and the problems they bring. Sessions begin with listening and mapping what matters to the client. They then agree a simple plan for how to structure ongoing work and how to communicate between meetings.
Christine also uses emotionally-focused and attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships and past losses affect feelings and behaviour. She applies solution-focused steps to set small, practical goals between sessions. This mix aims to make conversations clear and rooted in everyday life.
She encourages people to talk frankly about parenting pressures, family friction, carer stress or changes at work. Her past work with armed forces families and healthcare settings informs how she thinks about stress and support in busy lives. Sessions are conducted in English, and she accepts international clients.
If someone wants to explore working together they are asked to use the online matching process to arrange a first session. Fees vary by location and are paid through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How Christine uses relational and practical approaches online
Christine draws on attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused work to look at how relationships shape feelings. Attachment-based thinking helps highlight patterns of connection that can cause repeated conflict or distance. Emotionally-focused work focuses on naming and working with strong feelings that come up in close relationships and during loss.She also uses solution-focused steps to set short, achievable goals between sessions. This approach helps people try small changes and notice what makes a difference in daily life, such as shifting communication around parenting or managing stress at work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss the methods that seem most helpful and make decisions together based on your needs and preferences. That collaborative planning can change as you learn more about what helps.
