Christine McInnes , BACP

Christine McInnes approaches therapy from the conviction that each person already carries the resources they need to face life’s challenges. She centers her work on helping people recognise and build on their inner strengths so they can move through difficulties with greater clarity and resilience. Her style emphasises authenticity and self-acceptance, encouraging clients to acknowledge all parts of themselves as a route to increased confidence and calm.

With five years of experience supporting people in the United Kingdom, Christine has worked with issues including addictions, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and grief. She also offers focused support around abandonment and attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, commitment and communication problems, divorce and separation, fertility and cancer related concerns, and drug and alcohol addiction. Christine combines practical strategies with an empathetic, person-centered stance to help clients find meaningful change.

She is a BACP registered counsellor - registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors in the UK. Christine’s approach is collaborative and respectful; she aims to help people access their own creativity, strength, and wisdom as they work toward the life they want. She looks forward to working with people who feel her approach may suit them.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Christine brings several evidence-informed approaches to online work, tailoring them to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns - it helps people understand connection, abandonment worries, and trust issues so they can build healthier relationships. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused method that helps people explore ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation for change - it is particularly useful for addictions and behaviour change. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers structured ways to address the effects of trauma and abuse, helping clients process painful experiences and reduce their ongoing impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christine works collaboratively with clients and with licensed professionals when appropriate to identify which methods best match a person’s goals, preferences, and circumstances, and she adapts her work as those needs evolve.

Online therapy with Christine can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexible options for different lifestyles and energy levels. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to connect across distances, and to use the mode of communication that feels most comfortable for each person.
