Christine Viner , BACP

Christine Viner is a BACP-registered therapeutic counsellor based in Lincolnshire, England. BACP indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. She has completed extensive online therapy training to support clients effectively through remote sessions.

Her professional background includes roles within the NHS, social care settings, work with people who have physical disabilities, and supporting members of the armed forces and their families. That variety of experience contributes to a broad understanding of different life circumstances and challenges.

Christine trained in a person-centred approach, which places the individual's experience at the centre of the work. She focuses on listening carefully, understanding how each person experiences their world, and collaborating to create a plan that suits the client - including how sessions are structured and how communication will work. Building trust, a sense of belonging, and stability is important to her practice. She is not currently accepting new clients. For information about evening appointment availability, she asks that people message to inquire, as these slots are managed in her diary due to demand.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Christine draws on client-centred therapy to place the person's experience at the heart of the work, offering a non-judgmental, empathic way of exploring thoughts and feelings that can help with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Attachment-based therapy is used to look at patterns in relationships and early bonds, helping people understand how attachment styles affect current connections and family or parenting challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional responses in relationships, which can be particularly helpful for couples and families working through communication and connection issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be decided collaboratively. Christine works with clients to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as the work develops to ensure the best fit for each person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or other commitments and allow clients to access licensed professionals from a convenient location.
