Christine Coyle, BACP

Christine Coyle is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. She trained in psychology and criminology and works with adults who are looking to change how they cope with stress, anxiety and everyday thoughts and habits. Christine aims to make starting therapy straightforward and approachable for people who feel unsure about taking that step.

Her background includes charity-sector work and running a small counselling and holistic therapies practice. That mix shaped a practical style focused on short, usable techniques people can use day to day. She often helps clients who are struggling with low self-worth, relationship difficulties, substance use issues and mood concerns such as depression or bipolar symptoms.

Christine uses a blend of approaches including Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness and Psychodynamic work. Sessions typically focus on thinking patterns, emotional responses and simple actions to alter unhelpful habits. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to set small, achievable goals.

She has experience with trauma-related difficulties, grief, self-harm thoughts, and with people wrestling with identity and intimacy concerns. Christine describes her counselling space as warm and non-judgemental, aimed at helping people build practical coping skills and problem-solving strategies.

If someone wants to explore change, Christine encourages a collaborative process to identify realistic next steps. Prospective clients are asked to use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete the matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Christine commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so clients feel understood and able to reflect on their choices. CBT looks at thought patterns and habits, helping people try small changes in thinking and behaviour to reduce distress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness exercises to manage stress, notice unhelpful reactions and make calmer choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your aims and try different ideas together to see what helps best. That collaborative process lets goals and methods change as progress is made, rather than committing to a single technique from the start.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, allow quieter check-ins that do not require travel, and let people use mindfulness or CBT exercises at home between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and goal-setting work to suit video or audio sessions, helping you practise new habits in everyday life.
