Christine Willis, BACP

Christine Willis is an integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of clinical experience and membership of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), which denotes professional standing in the field. She supports people facing a wide range of difficulties, from anxiety, depression and stress to grief, domestic violence and bereavement, and works with issues involving relationships, addiction, trauma and major life changes.

Her practice draws on client-centered, cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic approaches, blending methods to suit each person’s needs rather than applying a single model to every situation. That flexibility allows her to focus on immediate coping strategies while also exploring deeper patterns that influence thoughts, feelings and relationships. Christine aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore painful topics, process loss and develop practical tools for change.

Whether someone is seeking short-term support for a specific problem or longer-term work to understand recurring patterns, Christine offers a humane and collaborative approach. She tailors the pace and focus of sessions to individual goals, helping people build resilience, improve communication and regain a clearer sense of direction.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Christine Willis uses a blend of client-centered, cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic ideas to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a compassionate, accepting relationship in which the therapist listens and reflects so the person can find their own solutions - it is helpful for building self-esteem and processing emotional pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to change them - it is often effective for anxiety, depression and coping with stress. Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences and relational patterns influence current feelings and choices, which can help when recurring relationship problems or deep-seated patterns are a concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is determined collaboratively. Christine works with each person to identify goals, discuss options and adjust methods over time so the work fits their needs, preferences and pace.

Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - offer practical flexibility for busy lives and for people who cannot attend in person. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access support from different locations and choose a format that feels most comfortable while working toward the client’s goals.
