About Christine
Christine Coyle is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has worked in Northern Ireland and elsewhere in the United Kingdom for seven years and helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression among other concerns.
She trained in psychology and criminology and has experience in the charity sector. She now runs her own counselling and holistic therapies business. Christine works mainly with adults and has supported people through problems such as low self-esteem, relationship issues, self-harm and suicidal thinking.
Her way of working is practical and conversational. She focuses on simple techniques and everyday strategies that clients can try between sessions. These include exercises drawn from cognitive behavioural methods and mindfulness, alongside person-centred listening and psychodynamic reflection.
Christine also uses approaches that look at bodily experience and trauma responses. She aims to help people identify problem-solving steps and build small changes into daily life. That can mean focusing on mood regulation, relationship boundaries, or coping skills for stress and addiction.
Sessions are aimed at helping people consider what change might look like and how to get there. She accepts international clients and runs her practice from the United Kingdom. Sessions are carried out in English and are structured to suit the needs and pace of each person.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting. Online sessions can use that same approach through conversation to help people clarify feelings and decide what to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, uses practical tasks and experiments. In online sessions this often means setting small exercises between meetings and reviewing results together. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and manage strong emotions. These practices can be guided live and then repeated by the person between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, personal preferences and what has helped before. Together they will choose methods and adjust them as the sessions proceed so the work fits the person rather than the other way round.
Confirm current session formats before booking as they are not listed here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. It also allows practical tasks from CBT and mindfulness to be shown and practiced during the appointment. Ask about scheduling, session length and any preferences when you book so arrangements suit everyday routines.
