Christina Tremaine, BACP, NCPS

Christina Tremaine offers calm, direct support for people facing loss, anxiety and life changes. She speaks plainly and listens closely, helping each person find practical ways to feel steadier. She is experienced and approachable, so conversations can feel straightforward rather than clinical.

Christina uses a person-centred stance that keeps you at the heart of sessions. She also draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive approaches to help with relationships, anxiety, obsessions, addiction and mood issues. Sessions focus on what matters to you and on small, manageable steps forward.

Her work includes bereavement counselling for adults and for children, and she has experience with trauma, domestic violence, self-harm, pregnancy and childbirth issues, and problems connected to work and parenting. She is familiar with long-term challenges such as bipolar and compulsive behaviours, and with concerns about intimacy, sexuality and LGBT matters.

Christina has worked in community settings and within the NHS over 25 years. Her credentials include membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. She keeps practice simple and focused on the person in front of her.

Therapy sessions are collaborative and tailored. Christina will listen, reflect and help you set goals that fit your life. She supports people through grief, stress, career strain and difficult transitions with steady, compassionate guidance.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work pays attention to how early bonds affect current relationships. Online sessions can help people notice patterns that affect trust and closeness, and then practise new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and the person's own pace. In online sessions this means conversations are guided by what you bring, with the counsellor reflecting and helping you find your own answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy concentrates on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, obsessions and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christina will talk with you about your goals and preferences, and together you will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process makes it easier to test what helps and adjust over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel and allowing appointments around work or family commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera, depending on what suits you and the therapist.
