About Christina

Christina Murphy is a counsellor who builds therapeutic relationships on trust, acceptance and non-judgement. She works in a calm, direct way to help people untangle old beliefs and habits that no longer serve them. Christina uses practical tools and conversation to help clients take the first steps towards change.

She holds a BACP accreditation and practises in the United Kingdom. Christina draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.

Background and approach

She uses client-centred listening to make space for what matters most to the person in front of her. Cognitive approaches are used when clients want concrete ways to change thoughts and behaviours that cause distress. People come to Christina for many concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and trauma and abuse.

She also supports those dealing with grief, low self-esteem, intimacy issues and problems sleeping. Additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, codependency and relationship breakdown. Sessions tend to emphasise clear, manageable steps rather than jargon.

Christina aims to help clients notice small shifts and build on them. Change can be gradual or quicker, depending on the person and their goals. Her style is compassionate and straightforward.

She invites curiosity about difficult feelings and helps people practise new responses. The aim is to find ways forward that feel achievable in daily life.

How Christina’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds shape current feelings and relationships. In online sessions this means noticing patterns in how you relate to others and trying small, new ways of connecting that feel safer and more satisfying.

Client-centred therapy is built around listening and acceptance. The counsellor offers space for you to talk and be heard without judgement, helping you name what matters and follow the topics that feel most important to you.

Cognitive behavioural ideas are practical and goal-focused. They help identify unhelpful thoughts or behaviours and try experiments to see what changes, which can be especially useful for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps. The choice of method is decided together and revisited as progress is made.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are good for deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, reflection between sessions and options for people who prefer writing. These choices help therapy fit around work, caregiving and busy lives.
