About Christina
Christina Murphy is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She focuses on relationship issues, stress, anxiety, grief, anger and related concerns. Christina describes counselling as practical support for people who want change but are unsure where to begin.
She works from a relationship built on trust, acceptance and non-judgement. From that starting point she uses different therapeutic tools to help people notice old beliefs and habits that no longer serve them. The aim is to question those patterns and find more helpful ways of responding.
Christina encourages direct, down-to-earth conversation. Sessions are geared to helping people befriend difficult thoughts and feelings, and to notice small shifts that make daily life easier. Change can be gradual or quicker than expected, and she talks openly about what might fit each person.
Her background draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening, together with cognitive behavioural techniques for shifting thoughts and behaviours. That mix is used to address issues such as intimacy, self-esteem, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue.
Practical concerns like career stress, midlife questions, codependency and coping with separation are also within her focus. Christina invites people to explore what they value and to try different ways of responding to old patterns. Sessions aim to move people towards clearer choices and more manageable day-to-day coping.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Christina draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred counselling alongside cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and helps people notice recurring ways they connect or withdraw. Client-centred counselling focuses on careful listening and reflection to help someone clarify what matters to them. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes in behaviour.Finding the right mix is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to decide which approaches suit their goals and preferences. That means discussing whether more listening, more skills practice or a blend feels most helpful and adjusting as progress is made.
If you want to use online sessions, please confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding camera use when that helps concentration. Registered or accredited professionals often find online sessions useful for maintaining continuity of care and working through issues like anger, anxiety and relationship patterns over time.
