Christine CoyleBACP

Christine Coyle is a counsellor and psychotherapist with seven years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. Christine also supports people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, addiction and grief.

She trained in psychology and criminology and has worked in the charity sector before running her own counselling and holistic therapies practice. Her work often focuses on building simple, practical skills that people can use between sessions to feel steadier and more able to cope.

Christine uses a blend of client-centred, psychodynamic, mindfulness and cognitive behavioural approaches. She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk openly and work out what change would look like for them. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, with a focus on practical problem solving.

Many clients she sees bring issues such as low self-esteem, trauma, self-harm thoughts, or struggles with body image and attachment. She also addresses anger, eating concerns, chronic illness stress and codependency. Christine pays attention to how past experiences affect current patterns and relationships.

Sessions emphasise small, manageable steps and techniques to lift mood and reduce anxiety. She encourages people to notice progress and to adapt methods to everyday life. For anyone unsure about starting, Christine aims to make the first contact simple and respectful.

How these approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping you lead the direction of the work. It is useful for building self-worth and exploring what you value in relationships and parenting.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches concrete techniques to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is practical for stress, panic, worry and managing unhelpful habits.

Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve calm. It can help with rumination, chronic stress and coping through pregnancy and childbirth transitions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. That choice can change as the work progresses and as different challenges arise.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are available before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins between appointments, and make it simpler to continue work when travel or caring responsibilities are difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and mindfulness tools to suit phone or video arrangements once the format is agreed.
