Christina Griffin , NCPS

Christina Griffin is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She holds the NCPS credential, which is recorded here as NCPS. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She aims to build a calm space where people can speak honestly. Sessions are straightforward and non-judgemental. The aim is to help people feel heard and less overwhelmed by difficult emotions. Christina uses approaches that keep the client at the centre of the work. She draws on client-centred methods to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. She also brings in mindfulness and existential ideas to help people connect with the present moment and consider meaning and values. Psychodynamic ideas may be used to look at past patterns that still affect everyday life. Practical problems Christina commonly supports include body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, eating concerns, codependency and communication problems. She also works with people dealing with abandonment, attachment, divorce and domestic violence impacts. People meet her for a mix of short-term focused work and longer conversations about deeper patterns. The process starts with a simple first conversation to agree goals and a way forward.

How online approaches and practical formats can help

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following the client's priorities. The therapist creates space for you to say what matters and helps you set goals that feel right. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers simple strategies to shift unhelpful patterns that keep stress and anxiety going.

Choosing the right approach often happens together. The therapist will talk with you about what feels useful and try different ways of working if needed. That collaborative exploration helps match techniques to your goals and day-to-day needs.

Online sessions can be flexible and easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer appointment is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for short check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share thoughts in writing or to have brief support between calls. These options help people keep continuity of care while juggling work, family or mobility challenges.
