Christine Willis , BACP

Christine Willis acknowledges that reaching out for support is a meaningful first step and often takes considerable courage. She is an integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience and holds membership with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Her work has included supporting people through depression, anxiety, domestic violence and bereavement, and she addresses a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. Christine blends cognitive behavioural techniques, client-centered principles and psychodynamic ideas to tailor therapy to each person’s needs. She aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can explore their feelings and begin to make changes at a pace that feels right for them.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christine Willis uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating an empathetic, accepting environment so clients can explore their feelings and find their own solutions. This approach is often helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships and processing life changes.

She also applies cognitive behavioural therapy, a practical method that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and develop healthier thinking and coping strategies. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression and stress-related concerns. Additionally, psychodynamic therapy can be used to explore patterns rooted in early experiences and relationships, offering insights that support longer-term change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work they do together. Christine collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals and preferences and adjusts techniques so therapy fits the individual rather than the other way around.

Online therapy with Christine is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals and to continue therapy during transitions or when in-person sessions are not possible.
