Christina Steele is a UK-based counsellor with 12 years of professional experience and membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Christina works in a collaborative way, inviting clients to set goals and determine what they hope to achieve through counselling. She aims to create an empowering environment where people can explore their feelings, relationships, and past experiences at a pace that suits them. Recognizing that beginning therapy takes courage, Christina affirms that the decision to reach out is an important step toward change and offers steady, respectful support throughout the process.

Somatic and Trauma-Focused Care Delivered Online

Christina applies somatic therapy to help clients reconnect with physical sensations and bodily responses that relate to stress and trauma. This approach encourages gentle attention to posture, breath, and movement so that people can better understand how emotions show up in the body and develop practical ways to manage nervous system responses.

She also uses trauma-focused therapy to address the lasting effects of traumatic events and abuse. This work involves carefully exploring trauma-related memories and patterns with techniques designed to reduce distress and strengthen coping, helping clients reclaim a greater sense of safety and agency in relationships and daily life.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey, and Christina works collaboratively with each client to select methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She discusses options openly and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Christina is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to engage from home or elsewhere. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, fit sessions into busy schedules, and access registered professionals without travel barriers.
