About Christine
Christine Viner is a BACP counsellor based in Lincolnshire, England, with five years' experience. She has worked in the NHS, social care, and with people who have physical disabilities, as well as with members of the armed forces and their families.
She draws on a person-centred approach that focuses on the individual. Christine pays attention to how each person experiences their world. She listens, helps identify the issues that matter most, and works with clients to plan how sessions will run and how they will communicate.
Clients come to her for stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with family problems, parenting challenges, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Young adults navigating life changes and career decisions are among those Christine lists as a focus.
Her practice includes work around ADHD, isolation and loneliness, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem. She also helps people experiencing anger, commitment worries, fertility or fatherhood questions, and the emotional impact of serious illness or caregiving.
Sessions are organised around the client’s needs. Christine can discuss evening appointments by message when needed and manages these slots in her diary. If someone wants to explore working with her they are invited to make initial contact and complete the short matching steps required to arrange a first meeting.
How her approaches translate to online work
Christine uses person-centred and emotionally-focused ideas to guide online sessions. Person-centred work means the counsellor starts by listening and responding to how the client sees their life, which helps with issues like low self-esteem, anxiety and coping with change. Emotionally-focused methods focus on the emotional patterns behind relationship and attachment problems and can help people understand and change recurring interaction styles.She also draws on solution-focused techniques that help set small, practical goals and try new ways of coping between sessions. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Christine will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences in a collaborative way rather than imposing a single route.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work or caring responsibilities and can allow shorter check-ins or evening appointments when those suit a client’s schedule. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, emotional work and goal-setting to remote sessions so therapy fits into everyday life.
