About Christine
Christine McInnes is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping people build on their own strengths. She works with those facing addictions, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and grief. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping clients feel more confident in themselves.
Christine believes that self-acceptance is a practical step toward change. She encourages people to recognise and use their existing resources rather than searching for something missing. Sessions aim to help clients notice patterns and try small, manageable shifts.
Her work draws on attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas to understand how past relationships shape present feelings. She also uses client-centred methods to keep the conversation focused on the person in front of her. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about making changes around addictions or health problems.
Christine has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration with that credential shown as BACP. She has supported people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, fertility and caregiver stress among other concerns.
Sessions are intended to be collaborative and paced to each person. Christine aims to create time in the week where clients can discuss difficult topics, problem-solve practical steps, and practise new ways of relating to themselves and others. If her approach feels right, she invites people to arrange a first session.
How Christine’s approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react in certain ways to closeness, abandonment or communication issues and can bring clearer choices about relating to others.Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the counsellor. It aims to create space to be heard, to make sense of feelings, and to decide on next steps at a comfortable pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christine will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and agree a plan. That plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses so it stays useful and relevant.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific online methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time and allow conversations from a familiar setting. They also let people choose shorter check-ins when needed or use video for depth and phone for a simpler conversation. Discussing format options helps match the session to the person’s schedule and needs.
