Christina Tremaine , BACP, NCPS

Christina Tremaine is a counsellor who focuses on women's issues and a wide range of emotional concerns. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and aims to make talking about difficult things feel manageable. Her manner is down-to-earth and compassionate, and she draws on a long career to meet people where they are.

Christina trained and practises with a client-centred orientation, using the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential BACP and NCPS as listed. She blends different approaches to suit each person and keeps sessions practical and straightforward. Conversations tend to focus on what matters now and on small steps that can help in daily life.

Over 25 years she has worked in community settings and within the NHS, supporting people through bereavement, loss and life change. She also has experience addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions and workplace stress. Her additional focus areas include attachment concerns, domestic violence, pregnancy and childbirth, and issues related to sexuality and intimacy.

In sessions she uses elements of attachment-based work, cognitive-behavioural ideas and emotionally-focused principles to help people understand patterns and try new ways of relating. She tailors plans to each person's needs and preferences rather than offering a fixed package of techniques.

Christina offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging from the United Kingdom. She aims to support people taking their first steps towards change, with practical tools and steady emotional support.

Approaches and online counselling options

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. It helps people who struggle with trust, abandonment or repeating relationship patterns to recognise those habits and try different responses.

Client-centred counselling focuses on the person's experience in the moment and on being listened to without judgement. This approach supports self-understanding and emotional processing, which can help with grief, low self-esteem and life changes.

Cognitive-behavioural ideas are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioural changes. This practical work can reduce anxiety, improve sleep and help with mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Christina will work collaboratively to decide what fits best with a person's needs, goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversational experience, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, brief check-ins suit chat or messaging, and text can be used for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel commitments.
