About Christine
Christine OPrey is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She holds BACP registration, which means she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Christine works with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma and abuse, and she also supports people dealing with parenting strain, sleep problems and compassion fatigue.
She uses straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people feel steadier day to day.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps a person can try between meetings. Conversations are direct and paced to what the client needs in the moment. Christine has helped people with anger, low self-esteem, bipolar mood issues and a wide range of anxiety presentations.
She also addresses relationship-related concerns such as codependency, communication problems and separation. Work can include managing grief, confronting guilt and shame, or coping with feelings of emptiness and isolation. Her background includes long-term clinical practice with adults in the UK.
Over a dozen years she has refined ways to make therapy clear and manageable, keeping sessions simple and goal-oriented. She explains techniques in everyday language and recommends tasks people can actually use between sessions. Clients can expect supportive listening alongside practical tools for change.
Christine aims to help people regain routine and cope better with stressful events. Conversations cover thoughts, feelings and small behaviour changes to move forward.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Christine uses well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing thoughts and behaviours. One approach looks at how unhelpful thinking and patterns keep problems going and teaches practical ways to test and change those thoughts. This can help with anxiety, depression and sleep problems.She also draws on trauma-informed ways of working that pace the conversation and build safety before tackling painful memories. That approach helps when people are dealing with past abuse, grief or strong emotional reactions. Sessions often mix talk with simple exercises to reduce intensity and improve coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that suit their needs and preferences. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets, phone calls can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life or mobility needs.
