Christine Willis, BACP

Thank you for taking that first step - making contact often takes real courage. Christine Willis is an integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom who offers a calm, accepting space for people seeking support. She works in a non-judgmental way and aims to help each person feel understood and respected as they explore difficult experiences.

Christine has supported people facing depression, anxiety, domestic violence and bereavement, tailoring her work to the needs that each person brings. Her practice draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, client-centered approaches and psychodynamic ideas to offer practical strategies, empathic listening and insight into patterns that can keep problems repeating.

She holds BACP, a recognised counselling credential, and uses that training to inform a compassionate, professional style. Christine focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship while helping clients develop coping tools and new perspectives. Whether someone needs short-term practical support or deeper exploration, she aims to create a warm and open space for change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Christine integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic ideas to shape online work in ways that suit each person. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, non-directive space where the therapist listens deeply and helps the person find their own solutions; this approach is often helpful for building self-esteem and processing emotional pain. CBT offers structured techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for managing anxiety, low mood and stress. Psychodynamic therapy explores patterns from past relationships and emotions that influence present-day difficulties, offering insight for those who want deeper understanding of recurring problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Christine will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That may mean blending ideas or focusing on practical strategies first and reflection later.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to access support around work, family and travel commitments. These options provide flexibility in scheduling, let people work from familiar environments and make it possible for international clients to connect with registered professionals across distances.
