Christie Henderson, BACP

Christie Henderson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports clients facing trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, grief, and the practical strains of parenting. Christie works in English and brings a calm, respectful manner to sessions.

With five years of professional experience and a BACP registration, she tailors each session to the person in front of her. Christie focuses on what matters most to the client and adapts practical tools to everyday life. She aims to make the first steps of seeking help feel manageable and straightforward.

Her approach draws on client-centred listening to understand each person’s priorities. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people build awareness and reduce reactivity. Solution-focused ideas are used to identify small, achievable changes that can shift daily routines and relationships.

Christie has worked with a wide range of concerns including addiction, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, bipolar and depression, and issues around sexuality and kink culture. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress, and career pressures. Her practice emphasises collaboration and practical steps rather than one-size-fits-all plans.

Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Christie aims to make that first contact simple. She listens without judgement and helps clients set clear, realistic goals. Sessions are shaped around what a person needs right now and can change as those needs evolve.

How Christie’s approaches translate to online work

Christie blends client-centred listening with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. Client-centred therapy means the conversation begins with the person’s priorities and moves at their pace, which helps when sorting through relationship strain or parenting worries. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and calm anxious moments. Solution-focused work breaks problems into small, practical steps so clients can test changes between sessions and notice what helps.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Christie treats this as a collaborative process and will help the client decide which methods feel most useful based on their goals and daily life. Plans can be adjusted as needs change, with an emphasis on practical tools the person can use outside sessions.

The practical benefits of online counselling can include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. Because the biography does not specify session formats, please confirm the current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often find online work suits clients who need shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling, or to avoid commuting, and Christie aims to make sessions integrate with everyday routines rather than add burden.
