Christina Griffin, NCPS

Christina Griffin is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She holds NCPS as a credential and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and self-esteem. Christina aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and supported.

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings. Sessions are conversational and paced to match each person's needs. Christina listens for patterns that keep problems cycling and helps clients try different ways of responding.

Her approach draws on several methods, including client-centred work to follow what matters most to the client and cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas are used as needed to help people understand feelings and reactions that come from past experience.

Christina often helps people who are coping with grief and loss, relationship strain, abandonment and attachment concerns, and issues around body image and eating. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, codependency, and the practical fallout from separation or divorce.

Sessions can include practical strategies for managing worry and grounded exercises to steady difficult moments. Christina invites clients to set realistic goals and reviews progress together so therapy stays focused on what the person wants to change.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Christina uses client-centred work to make sessions focused on what the person cares about most. This approach means the counsellor follows the client's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them feel heard. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is also part of her practice and focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christina will discuss options with each client and adapt methods to their goals and preferences. The aim is a collaborative plan that feels clear and manageable rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep visual connection for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is low or when being off-camera helps someone relax. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins, brief coping tools, or times when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and goals.
