Christie Henderson, BACP

Christie Henderson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and trauma. She uses a straightforward, respectful style and aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or uncertain. Christie holds BACP accreditation and brings five years of professional experience to her work.

Christie tailors sessions to the person in front of her. She draws on client-centred ways of working to make space for what matters to each individual. Solution-focused techniques help set short-term goals, while mindfulness and somatic approaches bring attention to the body and present moment experiences.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including self-esteem, grief, ADHD, addictions, sexual health and intimacy-related matters. Christie also supports people coping with major life changes, career stress, chronic health challenges and compassion fatigue. She names additional focus areas such as attachment, body image and caregiving strain.

In sessions she prefers clear, practical steps alongside listening and reflection. People can expect help identifying small, achievable changes and noticing how thoughts and sensations connect to everyday behaviour. Christie emphasises collaboration and adjusts pace to match each person’s needs.

She asks clients to begin by using the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is then arranged according to the therapist’s availability and the platform’s process.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. In practice this means the counsellor offers reflective listening, asks questions to clarify what matters, and adapts the pace and focus to each individual’s needs. It is helpful for people who want a supportive space to talk through difficult feelings.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts, breath and bodily sensations. These practices can reduce rumination and help with anxiety, stress, sleep and reactions to difficult memories. Solution-focused therapy looks at small, achievable goals and practical steps to move forward, which suits people wanting quick, tangible changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Christie will collaborate with the person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences and everyday life. She adjusts the balance between listening, body-focused work and goal-setting as needed.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Many people value flexible ways of fitting sessions into busy lives, such as shorter check-ins, timing sessions during a work break, or choosing interactions that reduce the need for travel or long commutes. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions to quieter surroundings, bandwidth limits or a preference not to be on camera, helping therapy fit into daily routines.
