Christine Coyle, BACP

Christine Coyle offers a practical, person-centred way of working that helps people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She draws on seven years of experience in counselling and psychotherapy across the charity sector and in private practice in the United Kingdom. Christine holds BACP accreditation which she uses to guide her professional work.

She focuses on common concerns such as depression, grief, addictions and trauma. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, parenting challenges and eating or body-image problems. Other areas she attends to include attachment and abandonment worries, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency and anger management.

In sessions she blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness practices. Psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused techniques also shape how she helps people understand patterns and identify practical steps forward. The aim is to create simple tools you can use day to day.

Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental space where the focus is on what they want to change and how to get there. Christine keeps explanations plain and uses short, practical exercises to support progress between sessions. She works in English and accepts international clients for remote work.

Her background in psychology and criminology informs a grounded, thoughtful approach. She describes counselling as collaborative and encourages people to set small, achievable goals. If someone wants to explore change, Christine helps clarify options and build steady momentum.

How different approaches work online

Christine uses client-centred therapy to prioritise the person's concerns and create a supportive space where they set the pace. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard and to clarify what matters most before trying new strategies.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing simple behavioural changes. CBT is helpful for anxiety, low mood and practical problems because it provides clear exercises and homework to try between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Christine will discuss your difficulties, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. You can adjust the plan as you go, with regular check-ins about what helps and what doesn’t.

Online sessions come in several formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions for when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging for brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
