Christine Viner, BACP

Christine Viner is a BACP counsellor based in Lincolnshire, England, with five years of practice. She brings experience from the NHS, social care, work with people who have physical disabilities, and contact with armed forces communities. She prioritises listening and getting to know each person as an individual before planning any next steps.

Her background is rooted in a person-centred approach. That means she focuses on how each person experiences their life and their difficulties. Sessions are shaped around what matters to the client rather than a fixed template. Christine aims to build trust and a sense of belonging so people feel steadier over time.

She uses methods drawn from attachment-based work and emotionally-focused ideas to look at patterns in relationships and emotion. Solution-focused techniques are used to set practical, short-term goals and spot small changes that help. This mix lets her combine understanding with practical steps for coping.

Christine works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family issues, parenting, career worries, and navigating life changes such as adoption or caregiving pressures. She also supports people dealing with trauma, ADHD, isolation and identity matters within LGBT contexts.

If evenings are needed she offers some later appointments by message arrangement and manages these within her diary. To begin, readers are invited to make contact and discuss whether her way of working feels like a good fit.

Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits

Christine uses client-centred work which means sessions begin by focusing on how you see your world and what matters to you. This approach helps when people feel stuck or unheard and want a space to be listened to and understood.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how patterns in relationships affect feelings and behaviour. That can help with difficulties around trust, commitment, separation or long-standing family patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs her attention to emotion in sessions, helping people name and work through strong feelings in a structured way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs and preferences and agree what methods to try together. Decisions about pace, focus and techniques are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and more options for where to meet. As the original biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm the available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to join from different locations, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed.
