About Christine
Christine Smith is a counsellor with 22 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Christine focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression in a straightforward, compassionate way.
She creates an open space where clients can talk about difficult feelings without judgement. Sessions aim to be practical and down-to-earth. People leave with clearer steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Christine combines talking therapies with hypnotherapy when appropriate, and uses tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy to help with mood, panic and coping skills. She also draws on Imago relationship ideas to address communication and intimacy issues. Her experience covers a wide range of concerns including addictions, grief, parenting strain, body image, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and self-esteem.
Christine also supports people navigating divorce or separation and those living with bipolar or ADHD who want better day-to-day coping. Work with Christine is collaborative - she listens first, then agrees practical goals with each person. Sessions are available online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online with a counsellor
Christine uses hypnotherapy as one option to help people shift unhelpful patterns and access calmer states for sleep, anxiety or habit change. Hypnotherapy here is used alongside talking work rather than as a standalone promise of change.She also draws on client-centred therapy which places the person’s own goals at the centre of the work, and cognitive behavioural therapy which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours to change mood and anxiety. These approaches suit issues like low mood, panic attacks, body image concerns and relationship communication.
Choosing the right approach happens together. The counsellor listens first, then suggests a blend of methods based on the client’s needs and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are held. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or used when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit people who prefer typing or brief, frequent contact. This range makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
