About Christine
Christine Viner is a BACP counsellor based in Lincolnshire, England, with five years' experience. She has worked in the NHS, social care, with people with physical disabilities and with members of the armed forces and their families. Christine offers help for common concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain and anger.
Her approach grows from a person-centred background. That means she focuses on you as an individual and pays attention to how you experience your world. Sessions begin with listening and mapping out a plan together. The plan covers how the sessions will run and how you will communicate between meetings where needed.
Christine also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when strong feelings get in the way of close relationships. Solution-Focused techniques are used to identify practical steps that make a difference quickly.
She describes work with a wide range of life issues including parenting, anger, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Christine can also support people dealing with adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, fertility and caregiver stress. She aims to help clients notice patterns, practise new responses, and put simple routines in place that reduce daily strain.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients can be supported. If someone needs evening appointments they can message to discuss availability and diary management.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Christine uses client-centred practice online to begin by listening closely and understanding how a person experiences their problems. This approach focuses on the individual and helps shape a plan that fits their situation. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address strong feelings that affect relationships. EFT online aims to name emotions, trace patterns in interactions and try small changes to reduce repeated conflict or disconnection. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christine will work collaboratively to decide which mix of methods suits a person best, based on their goals and preferences. That decision can change as work progresses and new priorities emerge. The profile confirms she has undertaken extensive online therapy training, but it does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged. Many people find remote sessions help fit work, family and caring commitments into their week, allow shorter check-ins when useful, and reduce travel time. Online work also makes it easier to continue therapy when life circumstances change.Areas of focus
