Christie Henderson, BACP

Christie Henderson is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She meets people where they are and offers calm, practical support for day to day struggles. Christie uses simple, clear language so people can feel understood quickly and start making changes.

She draws on five years of practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. That experience includes supporting people dealing with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, addiction and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar. Christie also helps with issues around intimacy, body image, parenting strain and career worries.

Her approach is flexible. Sessions are tailored to the person rather than a single programme. She uses client-centred methods to listen and build a dependable working relationship, mindfulness techniques to reduce overwhelm, and solution-focused tools to set realistic steps forward. Somatic and trauma-informed ideas can be used where past events continue to affect the body or daily functioning.

Christie works with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, compassion fatigue, eating and sleeping difficulties, codependency and commitment issues. She also supports people navigating illness, caregiving pressures, bereavement and blended family challenges. Language used in sessions is straightforward and practical.

Christie offers online sessions by video, phone, live chat and text messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions that fit their needs. She aims to help clients build coping skills and clearer next steps so life feels more manageable.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and building an understanding so the person feels heard and respected; it helps when someone needs a steady place to talk through feelings and make choices. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce stress and manage anxiety in daily life. Solution-focused therapy looks for practical next steps and small changes that lead to quicker relief and clearer progress.

Choosing the right way to work is a collaborative process. Christie will discuss which approaches feel most useful, try different techniques together, and adjust the plan based on the person's goals and how they respond. The decision about methods is made with the client, not imposed on them.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, care commitments or travel, and give more flexibility when arranging appointments.
