Christina Murphy , BACP

Christina Murphy is a counsellor who builds therapy on trust, acceptance and non-judgement. She uses a relationship-based approach to help people who feel stuck or unsure where to begin. Christina holds BACP credential and works from the United Kingdom, offering sessions in English.

She focuses on practical change rather than long, vague processes. Christina uses a mix of tools to help people notice beliefs and patterns that no longer serve them. Together they look at which habits to challenge and which to keep.

Christina often works with stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and relationship strain. Concerns such as self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems and compassion fatigue are included in her practice.

Her approach is gentle but direct. Sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to name and tolerate. Christina helps people move from feeling overwhelmed to taking small, manageable steps forward.

She pays attention to attachment and how past relationships shape current reactions. That focus can help with abandonment, codependency, jealousy and control issues. Christina also offers support around life transitions such as divorce, midlife changes and shifts in career or purpose.

How Christina’s approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people recognise these patterns and try different ways of relating to others and themselves. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person in the room and follows their lead. In an online session this means the counsellor listens deeply, reflects what is said and helps people find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood, sleep issues and unhelpful behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will discuss different methods with each person and decide together what fits best. She adapts techniques to match goals, pace and preferences so sessions feel collaborative rather than prescriptive.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation while phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and busy schedules, while allowing practical exercises and regular contact.
