Christine McInnes

Christine McInnes believes people already have resources inside them to cope with hard times. She emphasises honesty with oneself and helps clients build steadier self-acceptance. Christine is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom who aims to make therapy a practical place to work through difficult feelings and decisions.

Her work begins by listening closely to what matters to each person. She focuses on relationship patterns, addictions, family conflicts, grief and the impact of trauma and abuse. Christine pays attention to how past attachments shape current reactions and helps people name those patterns.

Sessions are conversational and centred on the person in front of her. She uses client-centred principles to follow a client's pace, and psychodynamic ideas to look for repeated themes that cause distress. Motivational interviewing techniques can be used when change feels overwhelming or stuck.

Christine also draws on trauma-focused and attachment-based approaches for people who have experienced relational harm. She aims to help clients feel more stable in close relationships and clearer about what they want from life. Work often includes exploring boundaries, communication, and emotional responses.

With five years' experience, Christine supports people through issues such as abandonment, codependency, chronic illness, fertility and caregiver stress. She accepts clients in English and is open to international referrals. If her way of working sounds helpful, she invites prospective clients to begin the initial matching steps on the site.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Attachment-based work looks at early relationship patterns and how these affect current bonds. It helps when people notice they repeat the same interactions and want steadier connections with others.

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following a person's own pace. This approach can help people who need time to feel understood and to develop clearer self-direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Christine will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, whether that means a shorter check-in, avoiding travel time, or keeping appointments during a busy day. Many people find that remote sessions help them be consistent with their work while still addressing relationship patterns, addiction concerns and responses to trauma.
