Christine VinerBACP

Christine Viner is a BACP counsellor based in Lincolnshire, England. She has five years of practice and experience across the NHS, social care, with people who have physical disabilities, and within the armed forces community. Christine focuses on listening carefully and helping people find practical ways to feel steadier in day-to-day life.

Her approach begins with seeing each person as unique. She draws on a person-centred background to understand how someone makes sense of their world. Sessions are shaped around what feels most helpful to the individual, with an emphasis on building trust and a sense of belonging.

Christine uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect feelings and behaviour. She also works with emotionally-focused and solution-focused ways of working to help people name emotions and try small steps that can make a difference. These methods are used to support concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting strains, relationship and family issues, and fertility or pregnancy-related worries.

People can expect calm, steady listening and practical planning in sessions. Christine will sit with what is happening for a person, help structure sessions, and agree how best to communicate between meetings. She invites people to explore what matters to them and to find paths that feel manageable.

If someone wants to begin, Christine asks them to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to her availability.

How Christine’s approaches work online

Christine draws on person-centred and attachment-informed ways of working to help people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsettled in relationships. Person-centred work means she will listen first and shape sessions around what matters to the individual. Attachment ideas are used to look at how early and current relationships influence feelings and responses, which can help when dealing with relationship strain, parenting tensions, or feelings of abandonment.

She also uses emotionally-focused and solution-focused methods to help name difficult emotions and try practical steps between sessions. Emotionally-focused work helps people recognise and name what they are feeling in the moment. Solution-focused work breaks larger issues into small, achievable actions to test what helps in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christine will discuss options and tailor methods to a person's needs, goals and preferences, so the style of sessions can shift as things change. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client agree what to try next.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around family life, work and medical appointments, and can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, and can support ongoing work when in-person meetings are difficult to arrange.
