About Christina
Christina Tremaine helps people address stress, anxiety, grief, relationship issues and a wide range of life challenges using person-centred and integrative counselling approaches. She describes her practice as down-to-earth and interactive and brings 25 years of experience to her work. Christina is registered with BACP and NCPS and practises in the United Kingdom.
Christina uses a person-centred foundation alongside attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. She offers focused support for bereavement, addictions, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. Sessions are conversational and aim to clarify what matters to the client and which practical steps could help day to day.
Her background includes long clinical experience working with diverse people in community settings. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and existential ideas where these help people reflect on meaning and relationships. Hypnotherapy is also part of her broader toolkit when it fits the client’s needs.
In sessions Christina listens for patterns linked to attachment, past losses or workplace stress, and then uses simple strategies to reduce distress and improve coping. This might include exercises from cognitive behavioural therapy, talking through past events, or focusing on current relationship patterns.
Christina supports people dealing with parenting strain, sleeping problems, self-harm thoughts, workplace issues and substance use. She also works with issues around sexuality, pregnancy and childbirth, and end-of-life concerns. She conducts therapy in English and does not take international clients.
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Christina uses attachment-based ideas that look at how early relationships shape current patterns, which can help with intimacy, abandonment and attachment issues. She also draws on client-centred methods, which place the person’s own concerns and pace at the centre of sessions and work well for grief and life transitions.
She makes use of cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and practise alternative coping steps, useful for anxiety, sleeping problems and some compulsive behaviours. These approaches are described and tried together so the client and counsellor can see what helps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then agree a way of working together. This is a collaborative process that may shift over time as goals change.
