About Christina
Counsellor Christina Griffin is registered with NCPS and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief and loss, low self esteem, lack of motivation and depression.
Christina keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters now. She listens and asks questions to help people notice patterns in their thinking and behaviour. That might mean looking at how past experiences affect current relationships or finding small changes to ease day-to-day stress.
Her practice draws on several established ways of working. Client-Centred Therapy means she follows the person’s concerns and pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and how to change unhelpful cycles. Psychodynamic and Existential ideas can be used to look at deeper patterns and questions of meaning. Mindfulness techniques are also used to help with grounding and focus.
Sessions aim to be practical. Christina will work with each person to set clear topics or goals and to review progress over time. Conversations can cover problem-solving, communication skills, and dealing with loss or major life changes.
People choosing to work with her usually want straightforward help with everyday problems and longer-standing patterns. Sessions are conducted in English and Christina does not take international clients.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy when working with people online. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and is useful for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own concerns and pace, letting the conversation guide how topics are explored.She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help with grounding and focus, and on psychodynamic or existential ideas when people want to look at deeper patterns or questions of meaning. These approaches are used to try and match the method to the issue rather than forcing one way of working on everyone.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Christina will discuss the choices with each person and agree what to try based on concerns, goals and preferences. That discussion is collaborative and reviewed over time to see what is helpful.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or other commitments, for example by avoiding travel time or allowing a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Registered or accredited professionals often use a range of methods to accommodate different needs, and Christina will discuss practical arrangements when you make the first appointment.
