About Christine

Christine McInnes is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping people find steadiness after difficult experiences. She speaks plainly and listens closely, helping clients notice their own strengths and use them to cope with stress, grief and relationship strain. Her style is grounded and encouraging for people who want practical support.

Christine believes self-acceptance matters. She helps people recognise the parts of themselves that have been sidelined by addiction, loss or family conflict.

Background and approach

Conversations aim to build confidence and clearer choices rather than relying on quick fixes. Her background includes five years working with concerns such as addiction, trauma and abuse, relationship problems, grief and family issues. She has also supported people facing chronic illness, fertility struggles and caregiver stress.

That range informs her work and helps her tailor sessions to what each person needs. In sessions she draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early bonds shape current relationships. She also uses Trauma-Focused and psychodynamic approaches to understand painful patterns, and Motivational Interviewing to support change when people feel stuck.

Christine offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. People can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through hard things and plan small, manageable steps forward. If her approach seems like a fit, she invites people to reach out and explore next steps.

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.

Approach and practical online therapy options

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react the way they do in close relationships and supports building safer, more connected ways of relating.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of traumatic events and offers ways to process painful memories and reduce their impact on daily life. It is often used for people dealing with abuse, loss or distressing past events.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor follows the client's pace and priorities, helping them name feelings and make choices without pressure.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss options and help the client decide which methods suit their needs and goals. This happens together, with flexibility to change direction if something does not feel helpful.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations where visual cues matter. Phone sessions can fit shorter breaks or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These choices make therapy easier to fit around work, family and health demands while keeping a steady therapeutic relationship with a registered or accredited professional.
