Christine Viner, BACP

Christine Viner is a BACP counsellor based in Lincolnshire, England. She draws on five years of practice and experience in the NHS and social care to support people through difficult times. Christine has also worked with people who have physical disabilities and has experience supporting members of the armed forces and their families.

Her approach begins from a person-centred background. That means she focuses on the individual and how they experience their life. Sessions are built around listening carefully, helping people name what matters, and then planning practical steps together.

Christine aims to create a space for trust and belonging. She will sit with clients, hear their concerns, and help agree how sessions will be structured and how you will keep in touch. The plan is always shaped around what feels manageable and useful for the person in front of her.

She works with a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, depression, issues related to LGBT identity, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, anger, self-esteem and career stresses. There is also experience supporting people with ADHD, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress and illness-related challenges.

Christine invites people who want to explore working together to get in touch. If evening appointments are required she asks that you message to check current availability and diary arrangements.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how close relationships shape feelings and behaviour. It helps people notice patterns in relationships, understand emotional responses, and work on more secure ways of connecting. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience first; the counsellor listens without judgement and helps clients find their own direction and solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss options with each person and decide together what feels most helpful. That collaborative process looks at your goals, what you prefer, and what fits your day-to-day life.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around family life, work and travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that reduce time spent travelling. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods used in person to an online setting to keep the work practical and goal focused.
