About Christina
Counsellor Christina Steele is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 12 years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues and parenting. Sessions are offered in English and she practises in the United Kingdom.
Christina takes a collaborative approach. She treats people as the experts in their own lives and helps them clarify what they want from counselling. In sessions she listens for strengths and practical ways to manage distress. The first meeting is used to set aims and agree how to work together.
Her practice uses somatic and trauma-focused approaches. Somatic work pays attention to physical and bodily responses linked to stress or past hurt. Trauma-focused work looks directly at the effects of traumatic events and aims to reduce their hold on daily life.
Christina aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. She helps people develop skills to manage anxiety and to address relationship or intimacy concerns. For parents she focuses on the pressures of parenting and how that affects wellbeing.
Clients who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking. Sessions sit within a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. People interested in working with Christina are encouraged to read the options and select See online counselling options to begin.
How somatic and trauma-focused approaches work online
Somatic therapy pays attention to bodily signals such as tension, breath and posture. Online sessions can guide gentle awareness and simple body-based techniques that help with stress and anxiety. Trauma-focused therapy aims to address the effects of past traumatic events and reduce how much they interrupt daily life. In conversation this approach looks at memories and current reactions and supports gradual processing rather than quick fixes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods suit you. That collaborative choice can change over time as progress is made or new issues emerge.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose not to use video if that helps them engage. Check the booking options to see which formats are offered and which best fit your day.
