About Christine
BACP counsellor with 10 years' experience. Christine Howell works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, identity and family conflict.
Christine bases her work on person-centred and integrative ways of working. Sessions focus on what the client brings and on practical strategies when needed. She blends talking therapies with cognitive-behavioural and narrative approaches to help people make sense of difficult experiences.
Much of Christine's recent work has involved sexual abuse and supporting non-abusing parents of children who have been sexually abused. She has experience with primary, secondary and complex trauma, both recent and historic. That experience shapes how she plans and paces conversations about trauma and safety concerns.
Her practice includes addressing anger, intimacy-related difficulties, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue and challenges linked to ADHD and bipolar disorder. She can also help with career questions and coping with major life changes. Sessions include space to notice patterns and to try alternative responses.
Christine describes her way of working as interactive and person-led. The first sessions focus on building a consistent rapport and agreeing practical goals. After that she balances reflective work with straightforward techniques drawn from CBT, narrative and mindfulness approaches.
People can expect a non-judgemental stance and a steady pace when working through painful material. Christine aims to help clients gain clearer insight and to practise small steps that fit with everyday life.

How Christine uses evidence-based approaches in remote work
Christine commonly draws on person-centred practice, cognitive-behavioural techniques and mindfulness-based ideas when working remotely. Person-centred work means listening closely to what matters to the client and shaping sessions around their priorities. It helps when people need space to talk about identity, relationship or parenting concerns.CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes. It is useful for problems such as anxiety, low mood and managing strong emotions. Mindfulness methods train simple attention skills and can help reduce rumination and build calmer responses to stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Remote work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises, homework and pacing so therapy can connect with everyday life.
