About Christine

Christine Viner works on stress, anxiety, relationships, family issues, grief, depression and related concerns using a person-centred approach and other therapies she practises. She is a BACP registered counsellor with five years' experience and is based in Lincolnshire, England. She has experience working in the NHS, social care, and with people with physical disabilities and armed forces personnel and their families.

She trained in a person-centred background, which means she pays attention to each person as an individual and how they experience their world. Christine listens and helps people structure sessions and communication so they can address the problems they bring. She believes in building trust, belonging and stability as part of the work together.

Her practice also draws on attachment-based ideas and emotion-focused ways of working when these suit the presenting issues. She uses solution-focused techniques to help people set practical steps and goals. These methods are offered alongside the person-centred stance and chosen to match each person's needs.

Christine has worked across a range of settings, including health and social care, and with armed forces families. That background informs how she approaches matters such as caregiving stress, bereavement, fertility and adoption-related concerns. She also addresses difficulties including ADHD, autism and attachment issues.

Sessions are planned collaboratively so people know how they will be structured and how they will communicate between meetings.

How her approaches are used in online counselling

Christine commonly uses a person-centred stance alongside attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas. Person-centred work means paying attention to how the person experiences their life and tailoring the pace and communication to that individual. Attachment-based work looks at how close relationships formed earlier in life affect current feelings and interactions, which can help with relationship and family concerns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and naming emotions as they arise and then working to change unhelpful interaction patterns. This approach can be helpful for grief, relationship distress and managing strong emotions. Christine uses solution-focused techniques to break issues down into small, achievable steps when practical goals are needed.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively with the person to decide which approaches to try based on the issues, goals and preferences discussed in early sessions.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, for example by removing travel time, offering shorter check-ins or fitting a session around work commitments. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists offer a range of online arrangements, and Christine will discuss what suits a client's schedule and needs.
