About Christine
BACP. Five years' experience. Christine Viner is a BACP counsellor based in Lincolnshire, England. She has worked in the NHS, social care, and with people who have physical disabilities, and has experience with armed forces personnel and their families.
Her background is person-centred, often called client-centred therapy, which means she focuses on how each person experiences their world. Christine listens first and helps people structure sessions so conversations are useful and clear. She uses that approach alongside attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas to support emotional connection and relationship concerns.
Clients come for many reasons, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family difficulties, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and issues linked to adoption or attachment. She also works with people facing career strain, compassion fatigue, fertility and cancer-related worries, and isolation or shame.
Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. Christine discusses with each person how to organise sessions and how to communicate between meetings. She explores patterns in relationships and feelings, and helps people try small, manageable changes between sessions.
Evening appointments are offered by arrangement and are managed within her diary. Prospective clients who want to explore working with her are asked to make initial contact and follow the local booking steps to arrange a first meeting.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Christine draws on client-centred therapy and emotionally-focused therapy in her online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding how each person experiences their life, which helps when talking through stress, depression or personal difficulties. Emotionally-focused therapy looks at feelings and interaction patterns in relationships, which can help with relationship distress, attachment issues and grief.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christine discusses what a person wants to achieve and which ways of working might suit them, then adjusts the sessions collaboratively as goals and needs become clearer.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family commitments, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow sessions without being on camera if that better suits a person's comfort or bandwidth limits. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use remote sessions to make counselling more practical for everyday life.
