About Christina
Christina Collingwood is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She focuses on helping people cope with life changes and painful events. Her approach is gentle and respectful, designed for people who feel unsure about starting therapy.
Christina has four years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. She aims to adapt sessions to each person's needs rather than use a single method for everyone.
Background and approach
In practice this means talking through what feels most urgent, and agreeing simple steps to try between sessions. She uses client-centred conversations to help people feel heard and understood. That approach puts the person’s goals and experiences at the centre of the work.
When trauma is part of the story, Christina draws on trauma-focused therapy techniques to help process distressing memories and reduce day-to-day impact. Sessions are practical and straightforward. Christina will listen, reflect, and offer tools you can use outside sessions to manage anxiety, panic, or difficult memories.
She also works with feelings like shame, guilt, and struggles around self-worth. People come to her for help with obsessive thoughts, dissociation, self-harm urges, and workplace stress. She also supports those coping with sexual assault, relationship strain, or searching for life purpose.
Christina aims to make the first steps into therapy as clear and manageable as possible.

How trauma-informed and client-centred approaches work online
Christina uses client-centred counselling to prioritise each person's experience and goals. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the individual, with the counsellor offering listening, reflection and collaborative planning to help move forward. Trauma-focused therapy is also part of her work and involves carefully addressing distressing memories and reactions so they have less impact on daily life.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Christina will listen to your situation and preferences, discuss possible ways of working, and agree a plan together. If needs change, the approach can be adjusted as therapy progresses to match goals and comfort levels.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection helps, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing to talking. These options can make it simpler to keep continuity of care and attend sessions from different locations when needed.
