About Christine

Christine Coyle is a counsellor and psychotherapist with seven years of experience in Northern Ireland. She holds BACP accreditation and works with adults experiencing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and self‑esteem difficulties. Christine aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and straightforward.

She trained in psychology and criminology and has worked in the charity sector before running her own counselling and holistic therapies practice.

Background and approach

That background shaped a practical, hands-on approach to everyday problems. Sessions focus on simple techniques that people can use between meetings to feel steadier. Christine combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural tools and mindfulness exercises.

She also uses psychodynamic and trauma-focused ideas to help people understand patterns and painful memories. Therapy usually involves identifying small, realistic steps to create change. Work often addresses relationship worries, intimacy concerns, family stresses, parenting pressures and issues around body image and control.

She also supports people facing addictions, chronic illness, bereavement and the emotional effects of past abuse. Christine pays particular attention to helping people rebuild self-worth. Sessions are offered in English and Christine sees people of various ages.

She aims for a warm, non-judgemental atmosphere where clients can talk openly and practise new ways of coping. Practical problem-solving is a regular feature of the work she offers.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How therapy approaches translate to online support

Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of the work. It focuses on careful listening, reflecting feelings and helping you find your own direction. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of painful emotions or regain confidence in themselves.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses straightforward exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new routines, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress. Trauma-focused work pays attention to the impact of distressing events and uses gentle steps to reduce their hold on daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with you to pick methods that suit your needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may change as you make progress.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone calls need less bandwidth and can suit a quick check-in, and messaging lets you write thoughts between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, and make it easier to keep momentum when life is busy.
