Christine Willis

Christine Willis welcomes people who are feeling isolated, anxious, or overwhelmed. She is Christine Willis, a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She writes simply and directly, and aims to make the first appointment feel achievable.

She helps people manage stress, low mood, grief and relationship struggles. She also supports those facing addiction, trauma, intimacy concerns and life changes. Isolation and loneliness are specifically included among the issues she addresses.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions focus on what matters now and on finding practical ways to cope day to day. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thinking patterns and on person-centred listening to follow the client's agenda.

Christine also uses ideas from psychodynamic work to help clients understand recurring patterns and where they come from. She keeps explanations plain and uses examples to make sense of emotions and reactions. The aim is to build clearer choices, not to label or blame.

She holds BACP as a professional credential and has eight years of experience working with people in the UK. To begin, she asks people to take a first step and make contact so sessions can be arranged around their needs.

People who choose her often value calm, practical conversation and steady support while they work through difficult feelings and rebuild connections with others.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Christine uses client-centred work to listen and follow what the client brings, helping people feel heard and understood before moving on to change. This approach focuses on empathy and building a trusting conversation and can be especially helpful for people feeling isolated.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and teaches straightforward tools to shift unhelpful patterns. It suits problems like anxiety, low mood, stress and some aspects of addiction by offering techniques to try between sessions.

Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice repeating patterns in relationships and emotions. That can help people understand why certain situations keep causing the same pain, and then choose different responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around busy days and reducing travel time. If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are offered before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to keep regular appointments and to practise new skills between meetings.
