Christine Viner, BACP

Christine Viner is a BACP registered therapeutic counsellor (registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) based in Lincolnshire, England. She brings five years of clinical experience and targeted training in online therapy to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of other concerns including ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Her background includes work within the NHS, social care settings, and support for people with physical disabilities, as well as experience with members of the armed forces and their families. This varied practice has informed a person-centred approach in which Christine focuses on each person’s unique experience and what matters most to them. She listens attentively and collaborates with clients to shape treatment plans, session structure, and methods of communication to suit individual needs.

Christine aims to help clients build trust, belonging and stability as they work through challenges. She offers flexibility for those who need evening appointments - prospective clients can message to request availability, which she manages carefully in her diary due to demand. If someone wishes to explore working with her, they are encouraged to make contact to discuss next steps.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Christine integrates approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to tailor support to each person. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and can be helpful for people facing relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, or attachment issues. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective, offering nonjudgmental listening and partnership to help people gain clarity and self-understanding when coping with stress, anxiety or life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) works with patterns of emotion and interaction in close relationships, helping partners or individuals identify core emotions and improve connection and communication.

Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work together. Christine approaches this collaboratively, listening to each person’s needs, goals and preferences and adjusting the therapeutic approach as the relationship and work develop. Registered professionals and therapists often blend techniques to match what will be most useful for the client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and for some needs live chat or text-based messaging can be used. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments or geographic limitations, while allowing consistent, ongoing support from a qualified therapist.
