About Christine
Christine Howell is a BACP counsellor who offers approachable, person-centred care. She focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety and other painful life experiences. Christine speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps easier for someone feeling overwhelmed.
She draws on ten years working in mental and emotional health. Over the past five years much of her work has centred on sexual abuse and supporting non-abusing parents of affected children.
Background and approach
She has experience with primary, secondary and complex trauma, both recent and historic. Christine combines a client-centred attitude with Cognitive Behavioural and existential ideas. Sessions are interactive and warm, with practical ways to look at thoughts, feelings and patterns that get in the way.
She also uses narrative and mindfulness methods to help people make sense of their stories and calm racing thoughts. Her style is steady and non-judgemental. She works with each person to set meaningful goals and to build insight.
That might mean trying small experiments between sessions or practising different ways to respond to stress. People seeking support for grief, relationship strain, parenting pressure, self-esteem or work stress will find a therapist who listens and adapts. Christine aims to create a consistent, holding space that supports gradual change.
If someone wants coaching around life direction or support with compassion fatigue and burnout, she blends practical steps with reflective work.

Online support
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the online process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That conversation shapes a tailored plan and can change as needs shift over time.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video calls are good for fuller conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat or messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need quick, on-the-day contact. These options help make therapy fit around work, childcare or busy days while keeping the therapeutic relationship central.
