About Christine
Christine Viner is a BACP counsellor based in Lincolnshire, England. She has five years of experience and has worked in the NHS, social care, and with people who have physical disabilities and links to the armed forces. She offers a person-centred way of working that focuses on each person’s experience and needs.
Her style is to listen first and then make a practical plan together. Sessions are structured around what the client needs and how they prefer to communicate.
Background and approach
She aims to build a sense of trust, belonging and stability as part of that process. Christine uses approaches drawn from attachment work and emotionally focused methods alongside client-centred and solution-focused ways of working. These are used to help with problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship or family strain.
She also supports people with challenges linked to parenting, career, ADHD and identity issues including LGBT concerns. Her background includes supporting people through trauma and abuse, abandonment and adoption matters, caregiving stress, cancer-related concerns and fertility or fatherhood questions. She is used to talking through issues like communication problems, isolation and low self-esteem.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. If someone feels they would like to explore working together they are invited to get in touch through the service and follow the Start Therapy steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

How Christine works online
She also draws on emotionally focused therapy, which focuses on identifying and naming difficult emotions and then finding new ways to respond. This can be useful for people dealing with grief, loss, trauma or intense relationship emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christine will work with each person to choose what fits best based on their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means the methods used can change as needs shift.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a session during a lunch break. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, emotion-focused work and solution-focused tasks so they work well in remote sessions.
