About Christine
Christine Coyle is a counsellor who works from a practical, person-focused stance. She holds BACP accreditation and has practised in Northern Ireland for seven years. Christine aims to make first steps into therapy feel manageable and straightforward.
She trained in psychology and criminology and has worked in the charity sector before running her own counselling and holistic therapies business. She sees adults of all ages and commonly supports people facing anxiety, depression, stress and grief. Addictions, trauma and relationship concerns are also part of her caseload.
Christine uses an approachable mix of methods. She draws on client-centred work to build trust and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past. Cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness are used to create simple everyday tools for mood and thought management.
Sessions often focus on practical problem-solving and building coping strategies that fit day-to-day life. She also supports people with self‑esteem, body image and intimacy-related worries, as well as parenting and caregiver stress. Christine states she has helped clients tackle issues such as self-harm and suicidal thoughts in her practice.
Her style is warm and non-judgemental, with an emphasis on small changes that add up. People are invited to explore what change might look like and to try techniques between sessions. Christine encourages anyone interested to begin the process by following the site’s start steps.
How Christine's approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions, focusing on being heard and understood so people can explore what matters to them. This approach helps with stress, low self-worth and relationship worries by creating a steady, supportive conversation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) emphasises clear, practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour; it is useful for anxiety, depression and managing cravings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and build tolerance for difficult feelings, which can help with stress and coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their concerns, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as work progresses.
Confirm the exact session arrangements before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when a full in-person visit is hard to arrange. Some approaches adapt well to remote conversations and short skills practice between sessions, and the therapist will discuss how to make online sessions practical and useful for everyday life.
