Christine Willis , BACP

Christine Willis welcomes people who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship problems and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with addiction, trauma, intimacy-related issues and major life changes. Christine is based in the United Kingdom and works in English.

Christine uses straightforward, conversational sessions. She listens without judgement and aims to help people understand what is happening in their lives. Sessions are practical and focus on small steps a person can try between meetings.

Her work brings together Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy. That mix lets her focus on current patterns, the thoughts that sustain them, and the feelings behind those patterns. She tailors sessions to each person's needs rather than following a fixed script.

Over eight years she has supported people facing bereavement, domestic violence, depression and addiction. Christine helps people talk through painful experiences, spot unhelpful habits, and develop new ways of coping. She also addresses issues such as attachment difficulties, communication problems and feelings of emptiness.

People who choose Christine can expect calm, direct conversation and practical strategies. She invites clients to set goals together, review progress and adjust the approach as needed. The aim is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

Approaches and online working together

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions and focuses on careful listening and acceptance. It helps people feel heard and encourages them to find their own solutions to difficult emotions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It is practical and helps with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful coping habits by teaching concrete skills to change thinking and behaviour.

Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns that repeat across relationships and over time. It can help people understand where difficult feelings come from and how past experiences affect current reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will decide which methods to try and review progress as they go.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer written communication or need flexible, on-the-go options. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and family commitments.
