Christie Breen, NCPS

Christie Breen is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people through stress, anxiety and midlife questions. She draws on seven years of practising as a therapist under the NCPS credential and brings a calm, practical presence to sessions. Christie aims to create a steady space where people can talk through what feels hard and find clearer next steps.

She uses straightforward tools to help manage emotions and daily pressures. That includes working with thought patterns and practising mindfulness skills to reduce intensity in difficult moments. Christie also pays attention to how early relationships and attachment affect present behaviour and relationships.

Her background includes time in education and running a business, so she understands busy lives and juggling responsibilities. Sessions combine gentle curiosity with concrete techniques people can try between appointments. The focus is on helping people make small, manageable changes that add up over time.

Christie works with a wide range of concerns such as depression, relationship difficulties, career crossroads, grief, addiction-related issues, and challenges linked to ADHD. She also helps people facing family-of-origin and communication problems, and those coping with loneliness or midlife reassessment.

People who choose Christie can expect a collaborative process. She offers thought-provoking questions, practical exercises and mindfulness practices. The aim is to build skills, increase self-understanding and support steady progress toward personal goals.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Christie draws on client-centred work that prioritises the person in the room, and attachment-based ideas that look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Client-centred therapy means she listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, while attachment-based thinking helps identify repeated ways of relating that cause trouble now.

She also uses cognitive behavioural approaches to help with unhelpful thinking and behaviours. CBT-style tools include noticing thought patterns, testing them out and trying small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety or lift low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christie treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods feel most helpful based on a person’s goals and preferences. Together they decide what to try and review progress to adjust the plan.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily around busy schedules and reducing travel time.
