Christie Henderson, BACP

Christie Henderson is a counsellor who helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and intimacy-related issues. She also supports clients facing grief, parenting pressures and major life changes. Christie works with respect and sensitivity and aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated BACP. Christie brings five years of professional practice in the United Kingdom to her work. Her background includes supporting people with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, addiction and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar conditions.

Christie uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on client-centred methods to keep the focus on the person’s experience. Mindfulness tools and somatic techniques are used for grounding and to help manage overwhelming sensations in the body.

Solution-focused strategies are applied for practical goal-setting and short-term progress. Trauma-focused ideas shape how she approaches distress linked to past harm, always paced to the client’s readiness. Christie also attends to less typical concerns, such as kink and alternative sex culture, body image and chronic health stresses.

Sessions are shaped around what the client wants to achieve, with plans adjusted as progress unfolds. Christie encourages small, manageable steps and practical techniques people can use between sessions. She invites anyone who is ready to take that first step to begin with an initial matching process.

Approaches used online and how they help

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience without judgement. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them. Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and help manage anxiety symptoms. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on setting clear, achievable goals and building steps that lead to tangible change.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. Choices are reviewed as therapy progresses so sessions stay relevant and useful.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break. It can also make it practical to continue work when managing chronic health issues or caring responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt mindfulness exercises, somatic grounding and solution-focused tasks to remote sessions so people can practise techniques between meetings.
