Christine Viner, BACP

Christine Viner is a BACP-registered therapeutic counsellor based in Lincolnshire, England, who brings a person-centred approach to her online and in-person work. She has completed extensive training in delivering therapy online and draws on experience gained in the NHS, social care services, work with people with physical disabilities, and supporting members of the armed forces and their families.

Grounded in a person-centred background, Christine believes each individual has a unique story and responds to difficulties in their own way. She prioritises understanding how clients experience their world and listens to their concerns with patience and respect. Sessions are shaped collaboratively, with Christine and the client agreeing on how to structure meetings and how to communicate in ways that meet the client’s needs.

Her aim is to create a therapeutic space where trust, belonging and stability can grow, helping people move forward at a pace that feels right for them. Evening appointments may be available by request, and prospective clients are invited to get in touch to explore whether working together would be helpful.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Christine uses approaches that focus on understanding emotional experience and building secure relationships. Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of the process - the therapist offers attentive listening and empathy so clients can explore their feelings and decide on their own path forward. This approach is well suited to people seeking personal insight and a collaborative pace of change.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and trust. It can help clients who struggle with intimacy, abandonment fears, or relationship difficulties by exploring attachment needs and developing more secure ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Christine collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the focus as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - Christine provides support via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, allowing people to access therapy around work, family commitments or geographic distance. Many clients find this range of options makes it easier to maintain continuity of care and to engage with registered professionals in a way that suits their life.
