Christine Smith, BACP

Christine Smith has worked as a counsellor in the United Kingdom for over two decades. She holds BACP accreditation and has spent many years helping people find steadier ground when life feels overwhelming. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and offers a calm, non-judgemental presence in sessions.

Christine often helps people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those coping with grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and addiction-related issues. Parents and people facing divorce or separation may find practical help for communication, boundaries and daily routines.

Her work combines straightforward talking therapies with tools that aim to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy are among the approaches she uses. She also lists hypnotherapy and Imago Relationship Therapy as methods she draws on when appropriate.

Christine focuses on building clear goals and simple skills you can practise between sessions. She pays attention to sleep, eating and mood patterns and helps people develop coping plans for panic, anger and low self-esteem. Her practical coaching style is aimed at small, steady changes rather than quick fixes.

Sessions are conducted in English and Christine accepts international clients. If you prefer a direct, encouraging approach that balances listening with clear tools, her way of working may suit you.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding your perspective and offering empathic listening so you can explore feelings at your own pace. It is useful for people who need acceptance and space to talk through difficult emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, panic, low mood and sleep difficulties by providing clear exercises to practise between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and better communication. It can be helpful when worries escalate into intense emotions or when people need structured tools for managing anger or panic.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and help decide which methods to use. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when that suits, and remove the need to travel to appointments. The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can then help you match format and approach to what you need.
