About Christie
Christie Henderson welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain or big life changes. She is named up front so readers know who they will meet. Christie aims to make the first step easier with a straightforward, respectful approach and practical support.
Christie is a BACP counsellor with five years of experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, addiction concerns and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar.
Background and approach
She also supports those facing grief, parenting strain, intimacy questions, ADHD and issues linked to sexual identity and kink culture. Her sessions are adapted to each person. That means listening first, then shaping the work around what the client needs most.
Christie uses client-centred and solution-focused ideas, plus mindfulness and somatic techniques when they suit the moment. People can expect clear, simple goals in session and practical steps between meetings. Christie pays attention to the body as well as thoughts when trauma or stress show up physically.
She aims for steady progress rather than quick fixes. Christie describes herself as compassionate and sensitive in her work. She offers coaching-style help alongside counselling when clients want guidance on next steps.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

How Christie works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christie will listen to your needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to use. The choice is collaborative and can change as progress occurs or new issues arise.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping therapy consistent during transitions. Because the exact session formats are not specified in her biography, please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to attend and that brief, focused meetings help keep momentum between appointments.
