Christina Griffin, NCPS

Christina Griffin is a counsellor with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS, which indicates her professional credential, and focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and self-esteem concerns. Christina aims to make the first step into therapy feel less daunting and more manageable. She creates a calm and open space where clients can talk honestly about what matters to them. In sessions she listens without judgement and helps people put words to difficult feelings. That practical listening often makes it easier to spot small steps forward. Christina blends client-centred listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy. She also draws on psychodynamic and existential ideas to help people understand patterns in their thinking and relationships. Mindfulness practices are used to support grounding and reduce overwhelming worry. Her work often focuses on relationship difficulties and the emotional fallout of loss and change. She also supports people dealing with body image, caregiver strain, chronic illness, codependency and related concerns. Christina aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns and build clearer choices. People come to Christina when they want steadier moods, better communication, or more confidence to make life changes. She works alongside each person to set realistic goals and try different ways of coping. If you are thinking about therapy, she encourages a gentle first step and will support you through the process.

How Christina’s approaches translate to online counselling

Client‑centred therapy puts your experience at the heart of each session. The therapist listens closely and follows what you bring, helping you to feel understood and to develop your own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Both approaches can help with stress, relationships and confidence concerns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with you to choose what seems most useful based on your goals and what feels comfortable. That may mean combining listening, CBT exercises and simple mindfulness practices as you try things out together. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check‑in appointments, and make it simpler to attend around work or caregiving commitments. It can also make it easier to use homework tools, worksheets and audio practices between sessions. If you want to explore how this could fit into your routine, ask about available formats and scheduling when you start the matching process.
