About Christie
BACP accredited counsellor with five years' experience, practising in the United Kingdom. Christie Henderson works with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, addictions and a broad range of life changes and caregiving stresses.
Christie uses client-centred counselling as a core way of working. She listens for what matters to the individual and helps them set the agenda for sessions. She also draws on mindfulness techniques to manage worry and emotional overwhelm, and solution-focused ideas to identify concrete next steps between sessions.
Her background includes work with grief, parenting concerns, sleeping and eating difficulties, career strain, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas listed include issues such as body image, blended family tensions, attachment concerns and neurodiversity-related matters including autism and Asperger syndrome.
Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward. Christie offers a mixture of talking and present-moment noticing, with some somatic elements when people want to bring attention to bodily reactions. Trauma-focused approaches are used where people have experienced abuse or distressing events.
She works in English and does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the See online counselling options button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person sets the pace and priorities; it is useful when people want a supportive space to make sense of their situation. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce rumination and manage anxiety or emotional overwhelm, which can help with sleep and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for clear, small steps a person can take between sessions to build momentum and practical change.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Christie will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt the mix of methods to someone’s goals, needs and preferences rather than applying one fixed model. That discussion usually happens in the first session and is revisited as work progresses.
The practical benefits of online counselling can include fitting sessions around daily life and reducing travel time. If you want to begin, please confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not stated in the biography. Registered or accredited professionals like Christie often help arrange a format that suits a person’s schedule and the kind of work they want to do.
