About Christie

Christie Henderson is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem problems, ADHD and addictions. Christie also supports clients dealing with grief, career pressure, parenting strain, and the confusion that can come with major life changes.

She uses a client-focused way of working that keeps conversations practical. Sessions aim to identify what feels most pressing and to try small, manageable steps to change things. Mindfulness and body-awareness techniques are used to help with anxiety, sleep and emotional overwhelm. Solution-oriented thinking helps people build clearer plans for work, relationships and daily routines.

Christie has experience with a wide range of issues including bipolar and depression, sexual and kink-related concerns, caregiving stress, chronic health challenges, and body image. She brings that breadth into sessions without assuming one method will fit every person. Instead she adapts the approach as needs become clearer.

Clients can expect short, direct conversations about what is working and what is not. The tone aims to be straightforward and respectful while focusing on practical next steps. Christie records BACP as her professional credential and works from the United Kingdom.

To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the client. It helps when someone wants a non-directive space to talk through work, study, relationship or identity concerns. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage intense feelings. These practices can be practised between sessions as short daily exercises. Solution-Focused Therapy looks at small, achievable changes and next steps rather than only analysing problems. This is useful for early-adulthood concerns like first jobs, study stress and planning next moves.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan together with the client. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what actually helps in day-to-day life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins between commitments, or avoid being on camera when someone prefers audio-only conversations. Registered or accredited professionals generally adapt exercises like grounding, mindfulness and solution-focused homework for use between sessions and online.
