Christine McInnes , BACP

Christine McInnes is a counsellor who centres her work on helping people find and use their own strengths. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel straightforward and achievable. Christine believes people already have the resources they need to move forward and she helps them notice and use those resources.

She uses a warm, accepting style that encourages self-acceptance. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client and building practical steps that feel manageable. Christine pays particular attention to how early attachments and past relationships affect current patterns of relating.

Her practice addresses issues such as addictions, relationship difficulties, family problems, trauma and abuse, and grief. She also works with concerns linked to abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and communication problems. People managing chronic illness, cancer, fertility worries, caregiving strain, or the effects of separation and divorce may also find this approach helpful.

Christine trained as a counsellor and holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP. She has five years of experience working with adults in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Her style mixes client-centred listening with techniques that look at past patterns and motivation for change. In conversation she helps people map practical next steps, try out new ways of relating, and make small changes that add up over time.

Approaches that suit online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and feelings. Online sessions can help people recognise patterns formed in childhood and try different ways of connecting in present relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance, giving clients space to set the pace and topics of conversation. This approach is useful for people who need a non-judgemental place to explore feelings and make decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christine will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that match their needs. That choice is collaborative and may change over time as new issues emerge.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when tone and facial cues matter. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when writing helps organise thoughts. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, care duties, illness or travel while keeping therapy consistent and steady.
