Christie Breen, NCPS

Christie Breen offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or big life changes. She is Christie Breen, NCPS, and brings a steady, down-to-earth style to sessions. She focuses on helping clients notice what’s getting in the way and make small, manageable changes.

Christie uses straightforward tools and reflective conversation to help people gain clarity. Sessions often include mindfulness exercises, thought work, and attention to patterns in relationships and behaviour. The aim is to build skills that can be used between meetings as well as during them.

Her background includes work in education and running a business, which shapes a practical approach to everyday pressures. That experience helps when people juggle career demands, caregiver stress or the strain of change. Christie pairs that lived experience with seven years of therapy practice to guide conversations toward real outcomes.

She draws on a mix of approaches including attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, Jungian perspectives and mindfulness. These are used to suit each person’s issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, addiction concerns or self-esteem struggles.

Sessions are designed to be collaborative. Christie asks clear questions, helps identify goals, and offers tools that people can try between sessions. The pace and focus are set together so therapy fits into a person’s life and priorities.

How Christie’s approaches work online

Christie commonly combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practice. Client-centred work means the therapist follows the person’s lead and focuses on understanding their experience. Cognitive behavioural techniques offer practical ways to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. Mindfulness teaches simple attention exercises that help reduce reactivity and manage stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christie will discuss goals and preferences and together with the client decide which mix of methods fits best. That collaborative testing continues as sessions progress so the plan can change if something isn’t helping.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller conversational feel, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments while still accessing regular contact with a therapist.
