About Christine
Christine Smith is a counsellor with more than two decades of experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what matters to them.
She draws on several practical therapy approaches to meet different needs. Christine uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow the pace a person prefers and to encourage self-understanding.
Background and approach
She brings in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. She also uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Sessions are conversational and task-focused when helpful.
People can expect clear explanations, simple exercises to try between sessions, and an emphasis on small steps that build over time. Christine also uses hypnotherapy and Imago Relationship Therapy where these approaches suit the client’s goals. Her work covers a wide range of concerns beyond mood, including sleep and eating difficulties, addictions, parenting strain, communication problems and grief.
She supports people facing life changes, low self-esteem, panic episodes, ADHD-related challenges and compassion fatigue. Christine works with clients in English and accepts international clients. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and offers online formats to fit different needs.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills when people need practical tools for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance. These methods translate well to remote sessions and can be practised between meetings with simple exercises or worksheets the therapist can recommend.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together you decide which methods to try and how to adapt them to your daily life in an ongoing, collaborative way.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone calls can fit into short breaks or lower bandwidth situations, and messaging fits quick check-ins or when written reflection helps. These options aim to make sessions flexible and easier to fit into everyday routines.
