Christine OPreyBACP

Christine OPrey is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety and mood difficulties. She has 12 years of clinical experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed as her professional credential. Christine works from a practical, problem-solving stance to make therapy clear and manageable for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes or persistent worry.

Her work often covers anxiety, panic and phobias, as well as depression and grief. She also supports people dealing with trauma, obsessive thoughts, anger and challenges to self-esteem. Parenting pressures, sleep problems and caring-related stress are part of her day-to-day practice.

Christine is experienced in helping people affected by relationship harms such as narcissistic abuse, and she addresses issues like abandonment, codependency and communication difficulties. She also works with more complex mood presentations including bipolar disorder and compassion fatigue. The aim is to help clients notice patterns and build manageable steps for change.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions focus on practical skills, thinking patterns and strategies that clients can try between meetings. Christine explains therapeutic techniques plainly and checks in frequently so people feel able to use what they learn.

Based in the United Kingdom, she conducts work in English and currently does not take international clients. Booking uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and session cost varies with location and therapist availability.

How evidence-based methods translate to online therapy

Christine commonly draws on cognitive behavioural ideas that look at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact; this approach helps with anxiety, panic, phobias and low mood by teaching practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. She also uses trauma-informed techniques to support people processing difficult events, offering stabilisation skills and ways to manage upsetting memories or reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Christine will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to each person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative conversation helps decide which techniques to try and how to pace them over time.

If you want online sessions, please confirm which formats are available before booking because specific session types were not stated in the biography. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allowing shorter check-ins, scheduling around work or parenting, and avoiding travel time. It also makes it simpler to continue support while managing sleep disturbance, caregiving duties or geographical limits, as long as the chosen session style suits your needs and daily routine.
