Christina Tremaine , BACP, NCPS

Christina Tremaine is a person-centred counsellor with 25 years of experience who brings a warm, down-to-earth presence to therapeutic work. She is empathic and non-judgemental, and has worked with a diverse, multicultural range of clients, including roles within the NHS. Christina specialises in bereavement counselling for both adults and children, supporting people through loss with sensitivity and sustained care.

Her style is interactive and grounded in respect, compassion, and integrity. She adapts her approach to meet each client's needs, tailoring dialogue and treatment plans rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Christina integrates several therapeutic modalities as appropriate for the person in front of her, drawing on cognitive-behavioural, humanistic, psychodynamic, somatic and solution-focused ideas to create an individualised plan.

Clients can expect a practitioner who values emotional safety, practical tools and collaborative exploration of difficulty. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which indicate recognised professional training and standing within counselling and psychotherapy. Christina focuses on helping people navigate grief, relationships, stress, trauma and a wide range of life challenges with clarity and compassion.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Christina commonly draws on client-centred therapy, attachment-based therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy in her online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on offering empathic understanding and unconditional positive regard so that clients can explore their feelings and find their own solutions; it is well suited to those seeking a supportive, non-directive space. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how these affect current bonds and emotional safety, making it helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns and some trauma-related issues. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) works with the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, offering practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression and stress-related problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christina works collaboratively with clients to identify the methods that best fit their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors interventions over time so that therapy remains relevant and responsive.

Online therapy with Christina can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options make it easier for clients to access licensed professionals from home or work, accommodate mobility or caregiving responsibilities, and maintain continuity of care when in-person sessions are difficult to arrange.
