Christine Viner , BACP

Christine Viner is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She has five years' experience and offers online work that draws on her person-centred roots. Christine aims to create a calm space where people feel heard and understood from the first session.

She focuses on common life stresses such as anxiety, grief, depression and relationship strain. She also helps with parenting pressures, work-related burnout and challenges linked to adoption, attachment and neurodiversity. LGBT concerns, trauma and anger are part of her caseload as well.

Christine uses a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience at the centre. She listens closely and works with people to shape sessions around their needs. Together they agree how to structure work and how to communicate between meetings when that is helpful.

Her practice also draws on emotionally-focused and attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect feelings and behaviour. Solution-focused techniques are used to set clear, short-term goals and find practical steps forward.

Sessions are available online by video, phone, live chat or messaging, and international clients are supported in English. Christine aims to be flexible about appointment times and can discuss evening slots when needed. If someone wants to explore this way of working they start by completing a short questionnaire and booking a session through the site.

How Christine's approaches work online

Christine uses client-centred work to focus on each person's unique experience, listening closely and letting the individual's needs guide the pace and topics of sessions. This approach helps when someone is unsure what they need or wants a supportive space to talk through feelings.

She also draws on emotionally-focused therapy to look at how emotions show up in relationships and to help people name and process strong feelings. That approach can be useful for worries about attachment, communication problems, and relationship distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest ways of working that suit those needs. Together they adapt methods and session structure as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video works well for face-to-face style conversations, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life or living in different locations, while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional understanding.
