About Christine
Christine McInnes is a BACP registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of practice. She works with people dealing with addictions, relationship strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, and grief. She also supports issues tied to attachment, abandonment, codependency, and chronic illness.
Christine uses conversational, person-focused therapy that centres the client's experience. Sessions are practical and straightforward. She encourages people to notice their strengths and to name what feels difficult without judgement.
Her approach draws on attachment-based work and client-centred methods. That means attention to how early relationships shape current patterns, alongside helping the person find their own solutions. She also uses elements of motivational interviewing to support change around substance use and other habits.
Christine offers psychodynamic thinking when it helps to bring awareness to recurring emotions and patterns. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events continue to affect day-to-day life. She blends approaches rather than sticking to a single model, choosing what fits the person and their concerns.
People can expect clear, steady dialogue and space to reflect on practical next steps. Christine mentions self-acceptance and authenticity as central themes in her work. To begin, she asks people to consider whether her style feels like a good fit and to follow the site process to arrange an initial session.
How Christine's approaches work for online counselling
Christine draws on attachment-based work that looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. This approach helps when guilt or shame links back to family roles, abandonment or repeated relationship difficulties.She also uses client-centred methods which keep the focus on the person's own perspective and priorities. That style supports people to voice hard feelings and decide practical next steps. Motivational interviewing is used alongside these approaches to support change in areas such as substance use or other habits that feed shame.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will talk with the person about their goals, history and preferences and together they will choose which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs shift.
