Christine Willis, BACP

Christine Willis is an integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She combines techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, person-centred practice and psychodynamic work to create a flexible approach tailored to each person's needs. Christine has supported people dealing with depression, anxiety, domestic violence and bereavement, offering practical tools alongside reflective exploration to help clients navigate difficult emotions and life transitions.

As a member of BACP - a recognised professional counselling association in the UK - Christine follows established standards of practice while adapting interventions to each individual's situation. She aims to provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients are heard and respected, and where the therapeutic relationship guides the pace and focus of the work. Whether addressing immediate coping needs or exploring longer-standing patterns, Christine works collaboratively to identify goals and build strategies that fit each client's life and values.

Her integrative stance means sessions can include structured skills work, empathetic listening and attention to underlying relational or developmental themes, depending on what will best support progress at any given time.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions

Christine works with client-centered therapy, which focuses on building a trusting, empathetic relationship and following the client's own priorities; this approach is helpful for people seeking understanding, emotional support and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, offering practical strategies for issues such as anxiety, low mood and stress. Psychodynamic therapy explores underlying relational and developmental patterns to shed light on recurring difficulties and deepen long-term understanding of emotional responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christine takes a collaborative stance. She will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each client and help determine which methods or combination of methods are likely to be the best fit for their situation.

Online therapy with Christine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family and mobility. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into a busy schedule and access support from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt their methods to the online format.
