About Christina
Counsellor Christina Tremaine is a BACP and NCPS registrant with 25 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on common problems such as grief, anxiety, depression, stress and relationship difficulties. Sessions also address issues like addiction, sleep problems, parenting strain and workplace concerns.
Christina uses a person-centred stance alongside a mix of approaches. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current ones. She also uses cognitive-behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Emotionally-focused and existential ideas help where feelings and meaning are central.
Her background includes community work and roles within the NHS earlier in her career. That experience exposed her to people from many different backgrounds and needs. Over time she has worked with a wide range of concerns including trauma, domestic violence, OCD and end-of-life matters.
In a session, Christina aims to listen and respond plainly. Conversations will look at what matters most now and what practical steps can help. She will talk through ways to manage strong emotions, improve sleep and reduce day-to-day stress.
People can expect sessions that focus on current problems while also considering longer standing patterns. Christina will discuss goals and adapt the way she works as those goals change. The emphasis is on steady, practical work rather than quick fixes.
How her approaches fit with online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional responses. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in how someone relates to others and to practise different ways of connecting. Client-centred work focuses on the client's own perspective and pace, letting people lead the conversation while the counsellor reflects and clarifies. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behaviour with clear exercises and small experiments to try between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a joint task. Christina will talk with the client about what feels most useful, try a way of working and adjust it if needed. That collaborative process helps match techniques to each person's goals and preferences.
The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work and family life and reducing travel time. If you need quieter surroundings, less bandwidth or a shorter check-in, discuss these needs when you book. Confirm which session formats are offered before scheduling, since the profile does not list specific formats. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to keep steady momentum between appointments and to make regular contact easier.
