About Christine
Christine Howell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience. She works from an integrative viewpoint that centres the person and their choices. Christine aims to create a warm, interactive space where clients can talk through hard feelings and make practical changes.
She uses an approach that draws on existential ideas about meaning and choice alongside client-centred listening. That means conversations focus on what matters to you and the choices you face.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive-behavioural tools to help manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking. Over the last decade Christine has supported people with a broad range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures, identity questions and work-related issues.
She has worked extensively with survivors of sexual abuse and with non-abusing parents of children who have been abused, and with primary, secondary and complex trauma. Her style is described as warm, holding and interactive, with an emphasis on compassion and sensitivity. Conversations aim to build insight and practical steps rather than relying on jargon.
Christine encourages clients to set meaningful goals and to work at a pace that suits them. Sessions can include shorter practical techniques and longer reflective work depending on need. Her integrative stance combines client-centred care, cognitive-behavioural methods, narrative and mindfulness elements to meet individual needs.

Online support
How Christine’s approaches work online
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and the practical questions people face. It helps when life changes feel confusing or when someone is struggling with identity and purpose. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening deeply and creating a respectful, non-judgemental space so people can find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood.Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. Christine will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that suit their needs and preferences. Over time the plan can shift as new issues arise and progress is made, so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit around life. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need flexible check-ins between scheduled sessions.
