Christine Willis , BACP

Christine Willis is an integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family difficulties, addiction, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and intimacy-related challenges. Her practice also addresses areas such as attachment issues, codependency, domestic violence, cancer-related emotional impact, and difficulties with communication and control.

Christine blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic Therapy to tailor her work to each person. This integrative approach allows her to focus on immediate coping skills using CBT, explore relational patterns and inner experience through psychodynamic work, and maintain a supportive, person-focused stance consistent with client-centered care. She aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can explore difficult emotions and rebuild resilience.

Christine holds the BACP credential, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects adherence to professional standards. She offers support for both short-term challenges and longer-term personal growth, and accepts clients in the United Kingdom as well as international clients who seek therapeutic help in English.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy with an Integrative Framework

Christine commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic ideas in her work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and supporting the person to find their own solutions - it suits people seeking a safe, accepting space to explore feelings and decisions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems where practical strategies can provide relief. Psychodynamic Therapy explores patterns rooted in past relationships and unconscious processes to help people understand recurrent themes and emotional responses that affect current life and relationships.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Christine works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. She tailors interventions to individual needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust methods over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Christine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals even when in-person visits are difficult, helping people maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
