Christina Murphy

Christina Murphy is a counsellor who builds therapy around trust, acceptance and non-judgement. She draws on several approaches to help people understand the beliefs and rules that once made sense but now feel limiting. Christina uses counselling as a catalyst for change, whether someone wants small adjustments or a bigger shift in life. She has three years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation.

Christina creates a calm space where difficult thoughts and feelings can be named. She encourages people to treat themselves with compassion and curiosity rather than harsh self-criticism. Sessions focus on practical steps and gentle reflection so change can feel manageable and sometimes happen quicker than expected.

Her work often centres on relationship patterns and how early attachment shapes responses to stress and intimacy. She also helps people who are dealing with trauma, grief, anxiety and low self-esteem. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches are used alongside relationship-focused thinking to challenge unhelpful habits.

Christina pays attention to issues like abandonment, codependency and control struggles, and supports people facing separation, domestic violence recovery and midlife reassessment. She also works with concerns such as career stress, sleep problems, anger and compassion fatigue.

People who prefer a warm, non-judgemental therapist and who want conversational, goal-oriented work may find her style a good fit. Christina works in English and practises in the United Kingdom. Before booking, check the current session options and scheduling details.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react to closeness or separation in certain ways and is useful for intimacy-related issues and abandonment fears.

Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the relationship between counsellor and person. The focus is on being heard without judgement so people can explore feelings, build self-compassion and find their own solutions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviours that maintain distress. It offers practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and shift unhelpful thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will discuss which methods match a person’s needs, goals and preferences and make decisions together. The therapist adapts sessions over time if a different emphasis would help more.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people value online counselling for fitting sessions into a busy life, reducing travel time and making it easier to attend around work or caring commitments. Online work also supports shorter check-ins or phone-style conversations when video is not ideal. Registered and accredited professionals can use these ways of working to offer regular, structured therapy that aims to fit practical life demands while addressing relationship patterns, anxiety and other concerns.
