Christie Henderson, BACP

Christie Henderson welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by life changes, stress or anxiety and want practical support. She is a counsellor with a BACP accreditation and five years of professional experience. Christie focuses on emotional difficulties like depression, grief and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also helps with issues such as ADHD, addictions and challenges that come with ageing and geriatric issues.

Her way of working is straightforward and respectful. Sessions are tailored to the person in front of her rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Christie uses clear, practical steps alongside listening and reflective conversation. She aims to help people notice what is getting in the way and build small, manageable changes.

Christie draws on client-centred methods to keep the work grounded in each person's values and priorities. She also uses solution-focused ideas to set realistic short-term goals. When trauma or strong bodily responses are present she incorporates somatic and trauma-focused approaches to help people feel steadier in their bodies and emotions.

She has supported people through parenting strain, caregiving stress and the emotional impact of chronic illness. Christie also works with sexual minority concerns, body image, and issues linked to attachment or abandonment. Her practice includes helping people who face career pressures, compassion fatigue or the complex needs of multiple co-occurring problems.

To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling then follows according to therapist availability and the subscription payment model used for sessions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Christie commonly uses client-centred ways of working that prioritise the person’s view and priorities. This means sessions start by hearing what matters most and shaping the work around those concerns. It helps when people want support that fits their values and daily life.

She also uses mindfulness-based ideas to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement. Mindfulness techniques can be useful for managing anxiety, stress and sleep difficulties. Solution-focused methods are used to set small practical goals and track progress, which can make change feel quicker and more manageable.

Finding the right approach is something the therapist will do together with the client. Christie will discuss preferences, needs and goals and try methods that suit the person. If a particular approach does not feel helpful, she will adapt the plan so it better matches what the client wants to achieve.

Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue talking with a therapist while managing caregiving or work responsibilities without rearranging their whole schedule.
