Christine Viner, BACP

Christine Viner is a BACP-registered therapeutic counsellor based in Lincolnshire, England, who brings five years of professional experience to her practice. She has completed extensive training in online therapy to ensure that remote sessions are effective and client-focused, and she has worked across the NHS, in social care, with people with physical disabilities, and with members of the armed forces and their families.

Her practice is rooted in a person-centred approach, which values each individual's unique experience and prioritises listening and understanding without judgment. Christine works collaboratively with clients to explore how they see the world and the challenges they face, then co-creates a plan for sessions and communication that suits their needs. This flexible planning aims to build trust, belonging, and stability while moving toward meaningful change.

Christine offers a range of online options and can accommodate evening appointments by arrangement; interested people are encouraged to message her for current availability. She welcomes clients dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, grief and loss, depression, trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, parenting and fatherhood issues, ADHD, self-esteem and anger, career and life changes, and related challenges such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, foster and adoption matters, and caregiver stress.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Christine frequently draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on understanding a person's unique experience through empathic listening and nonjudgmental support; this approach helps people build self-awareness, confidence, and ways of coping with life changes. Attachment-based therapy is also used to explore how early relationships influence current patterns - it can be helpful for people dealing with attachment issues, abandonment, or difficulties in close relationships. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) offers a way to map and work with core emotions and relationship patterns to help clients express and process feelings that affect wellbeing.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting therapeutic methods as the work unfolds so the plan fits the client's needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support around work, family, and geographic constraints. For many people, remote options increase accessibility and allow ongoing work with licensed professionals and therapists without the need for travel.
