Christine Howell, BACP

Christine Howell is a counsellor with ten years' experience working in mental and emotional health.

About Christine

Christine Howell is a counsellor with ten years' experience working in mental and emotional health. She uses a person-centred, integrative approach that aims to meet each person’s needs. Christine draws on several methods to help with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma-related concerns.

Christine has spent much of the last five years focusing on sexual abuse and on supporting non-abusing parents of children who have been sexually abused. She has experience with primary, secondary and complex trauma, both recent and historic.

Background and approach

She also works with relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem, identity questions and anger. In sessions she emphasises warmth, presence and a non-judgemental stance. She aims to build a steady rapport so people feel heard and able to talk about difficult topics.

The style is interactive and practical rather than distant or overly academic. Christine blends client-centred work with cognitive-behavioural tools and mindfulness practices. She may also draw on existential and narrative ideas depending on the person and the issue.

Treatment is shaped around each person’s goals rather than a fixed formula. People looking for help with coping skills, managing emotions or processing traumatic events can expect tailored sessions. Christine accepts that change can be hard and focuses on small, manageable steps.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process toward clearer thinking and stronger coping.

Ways of working Christine names

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

Working with trauma and practical therapy online

Christine commonly uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process distressing experiences and reduce the hold those memories have on daily life. This approach is aimed at stabilising symptoms and helping people make sense of what happened in manageable steps.

She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which emphasises listening, empathy and building a trusting relationship. This approach helps people feel understood and supported while they explore difficult feelings and life choices. Christine combines that with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a practical method that looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches skills for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Christine collaborates with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adapts techniques to suit those needs. She checks in regularly to see what is helping and what needs to change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a busy day, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging helps when people prefer writing or need time to reflect. These options aim to make accessing therapy easier around work, family and other commitments.
