About Christine

Christine Smith is a United Kingdom based therapist with 22 years of professional experience and a BACP credential - a recognised professional membership for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. She offers practical, compassionate support for people managing stress, anxiety, depression and addictions, as well as relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem struggles and mood-related conditions including bipolar and panic disorder.

Her work also addresses coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue and ADHD, with further focus on body image, communication problems, divorce and separation. Christine combines Client-Centered principles with evidence-informed techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and where appropriate integrates hypnotherapy and Imago relationship approaches to suit individual needs.

She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental environment in which thoughts and feelings can be explored safely. Recognising that reaching out takes courage, Christine partners with clients to set goals and develop practical strategies that support clearer thinking, improved coping and more fulfilling relationships. Her practice emphasises collaboration, respect and steady progress tailored to each person’s circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Christine combines Client-Centered therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to offer a balanced, practical way of working online. Client-Centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead - it is helpful for people seeking understanding, emotional processing and stronger self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing concrete skills to manage anxiety, low mood, panic and related difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and improving relationships - useful for intense emotions, interpersonal conflicts and crises.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Christine works collaboratively with each person to clarify goals, try techniques and adjust the plan based on what fits best with their needs, preferences and life circumstances.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and choice. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family and other commitments, and allow people to engage in therapy from wherever they are. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt exercises and support to work effectively across these different formats.
