    About Christina

    Christina Tremaine is a person-centred counsellor with 25 years of experience. She offers a calm, down-to-earth style and meets people without judgement. Christina aims to make it easier to talk about grief, stress and other hard things.

    She works with adults on problems such as bereavement, anxiety, depression and addictions. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, workplace stress and coping with major life changes. Other areas of focus include attachment and abandonment issues, domestic violence, OCD-related concerns, and end-of-life support.

    Her way of working is warm and collaborative. She listens first and then adapts the approach to what each person needs. Conversations can include practical steps from cognitive behavioural therapy and reflective, person-centred dialogue to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping.

    Christina draws on a range of approaches including emotionally-focused and attachment-based ideas when these suit the situation. Motivational Interviewing may be used to help people find their own reasons for change and take small, manageable steps forward.

    She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has worked in community settings and with the NHS. Christina says she will tailor sessions to each person and aims to support people through difficult decisions and painful feelings.

    If someone wants to begin, they are invited to take the first step and complete the short match questionnaire before scheduling sessions.

  2. Approaches that guide online sessions

    Christina works in ways that help people notice what matters to them and take small steps towards change. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation one step at a time. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current feelings and connections, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy issues. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely, accepting a person's experience and offering a calm space to talk through difficult emotions.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods feel most useful. That decision is based on the client's goals, life situation and preferences rather than a fixed formula.

    If you are considering online work, check the available session options before booking. Confirm how sessions are scheduled and what the format will be. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins between commitments, or suit quieter surroundings. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these methods so therapy fits practical day-to-day needs.
