About Christina

Christina Griffin is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self esteem and depression. Christina helps clients talk through what matters most and find clearer ways to move forward.

She keeps sessions straightforward and focused. Christina uses listening and questioning to help clients notice patterns that keep them stuck. She also draws on cognitive behavioural tools to try out different ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas are used when looking at how past relationships shape current reactions.

Christina often supports people dealing with blended family issues, including the strain of merging households, loyalty conflicts and changes in roles. She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment questions, communication problems and separation after divorce. Practical steps and small experiments are common in her work together with talking through emotions.

Sessions tend to centre on clear goals and simple strategies that fit into everyday life. Christina encourages short exercises between meetings to test new approaches and notice what shifts. The emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Her style is direct and collaborative. She invites questions about how the work will proceed and adjusts the focus as needs change. People coming from different backgrounds and life stages can expect a measured, practical way of addressing problems.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Christina routinely uses client-centred approaches that prioritise the client’s own experience and perspective. This means sessions focus on listening, reflecting what matters and building a working relationship that shapes the work. Client-Centred Therapy can help when someone needs to make sense of conflicting feelings and decide on next steps.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and to try different behaviours. This approach is useful for anxiety, mood concerns and for tackling unhelpful habits in day-to-day life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs evolve, and she reviews progress with clients so the plan stays useful.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule appointments around work and home life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss practical arrangements with Christina when you schedule the first meeting so sessions fit into everyday routines.
