Christine Viner, BACP

Christine uses a person-centred foundation that puts the client's experience first and focuses on listening and understanding what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around their individual priorities.

She also works with attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and how they affect emotions and behaviour. That can be useful when repeated relationship difficulties, abandonment wounds or family patterns are part of the problem. Emotionally-focused work helps people identify and work with strong feelings, making it easier to notice what those feelings are trying to say and to respond to them differently.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a single style. This means trying things, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to give flexibility. Video suits longer conversations and visual connection, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can work for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy around work, family life and different daily demands.
