Christie Henderson, BACP

Christie Henderson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains and parenting challenges. She works with individuals dealing with trauma, self-esteem and mood concerns, and supports people navigating life changes. Christie uses a respectful and compassionate style and tailors sessions to each person's needs.

Christie trained as a counsellor and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has five years of professional experience working with a wide range of concerns including addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, and neurodiversity-related topics such as autism and ADHD. She also addresses career stress, chronic illness and caregiving strain.

Her approach draws on client-centred principles that put the person's experience at the heart of sessions. Christie combines that with mindfulness practices and practical, solution-focused techniques to help people develop clearer habits of thought and everyday routines. For those affected by past hurt, somatic and trauma-informed ideas are used to help people notice and work with how stress shows up in the body.

Sessions are adapted to what each person needs and want to try. Christie emphasises small, practical steps and a collaborative pace so people feel able to try new ways of coping. She encourages questions and involves clients in planning their work together.

Many people find an initial meeting useful to decide whether this counsellor feels like the right fit. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a session according to the therapist's availability.

How Christie uses therapeutic approaches online

Christie commonly draws on client-centred work, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. Client-centred work means the session focuses on the person's priorities and pace, with the counsellor reflecting and listening to help people make sense of their experience. Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations, which can help with anxiety, sleep or stress. Solution-focused techniques look for small, achievable steps and practical routines that improve day-to-day habits and coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Christie treats it as a collaboration. She will discuss goals and preferences with each person and try methods that fit how they want to work. Adjustments are made over time so sessions stay practical and relevant to a person's life and needs.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work or caregiving, shorter check-ins when needed, and being able to continue work without travel time.
