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 who have physical disabilities, and with members of the armed forces and their families. Christine has completed extensive online therapy training to support remote work and welcomes people concerned about stress, anxiety, grief, depression and related issues.
Her approach centres on the person rather than labels. She listens closely to how someone experiences their life. Together they map out a simple plan for sessions and decide how best to communicate between meetings. The aim is practical progress rather than jargon or rigid programmes.
Christine uses attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships. She also draws on client-centred and emotionally-focused ways of working to help people feel heard and understood. Solution-focused methods are used when clients want short-term goals and clear next steps.
She supports people with a wide range of concerns including relationship and family difficulties, parenting and fatherhood issues, ADHD, trauma and abuse, loneliness, and career stresses. There is attention to complex themes such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and caregiver strain.
Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs, and evening appointments can sometimes be arranged by messaging to check availability. People international to the UK can be considered, and sessions are offered in English.
How Christine’s approaches work online
Christine uses client-centred work that focuses on understanding each person as an individual. This means sessions start with listening closely to how someone experiences their life and what matters to them, which helps build trust and a clear plan.She also draws on emotionally-focused therapy to look at feelings in relationships and how they shape behaviour. This approach helps people who are struggling with connection, attachment worries, or repeated patterns that cause pain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christine will talk through options, check what feels comfortable, and adapt methods to fit the person’s goals and pace. The choice of techniques is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around work or family life and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to have a shorter check-in or to use audio-only if that suits someone better.
