About Christina

Christina Griffin is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties. Christina also supports those working through grief and issues with self-esteem and motivation.

Her approach begins with building a straightforward, non-judgemental space. She encourages people to say what they really mean and to notice how feelings show up in daily life. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded so small steps can lead to clearer thinking and steadier routines.

Christina draws on a mix of client-centred listening and evidence-informed methods when useful. She pays attention to past patterns and to current choices, and she works with each person’s priorities rather than imposing a plan. That means sessions can include reflective conversation, gentle experimentation with new behaviours, or mindfulness practices tailored to the person.

She has experience with a wide range of concerns, including coping with natural or human-caused disaster, abandonment and attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and eating-related difficulties. Christina also supports people dealing with codependency, communication and commitment challenges, and the practical strain of separation.

If someone wants to get started they complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. Christina offers help in English for people located in the United Kingdom.

How therapy approaches shape online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and on a person’s own goals; the counsellor follows the person’s lead and helps them find their own solutions to problems like low self-esteem or relationship strain. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns that feed anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is usually a shared task. Christina will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean prioritising listening and reflection at first, then adding CBT-style exercises or mindfulness practices as needed.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will take place. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic, or sessions that do not require being on camera if that helps someone engage. Registered or accredited professionals use these options to help people continue therapy around work, caregiving and other routines.
