About Christie

Christie Henderson welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, life changes or difficult relationship and parenting moments. She writes simply and directly in sessions, helping people talk through what matters most to them and find clearer next steps. Christie is named in the first paragraph to introduce her directly to readers.

Christie holds BACP, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has five years of professional experience supporting people through grief, depression, bipolar mood issues and addiction challenges, as well as concerns around self-esteem, intimacy and LGBT matters. She also helps with ADHD, sleeping and eating difficulties and career-related stress.

Her approach starts with listening to what the person needs. She uses client-centred work to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Mindfulness techniques help people notice and manage difficult feelings in the moment. Solution-focused methods are used to set practical, short-term goals and celebrate small progress.

Christie can also draw on somatic and trauma-focused ideas when past distress shows up in the body or in memories. Sessions are tailored so the work fits each person’s goals and daily life. She aims to be respectful, sensitive and compassionate while helping people build coping skills and clearer choices.

How Christie’s approaches translate to online work

Christie uses client-centred work to keep each session focused on what the person needs right now. That means she listens first, then follows the person’s lead to set goals and priorities that feel realistic and relevant.

She also uses mindfulness-based practices to help people notice thoughts, sensations and emotions without being overwhelmed by them. These techniques can help with anxiety, sleep problems and stress by teaching short exercises people can use between sessions. Solution-focused methods aim for practical steps and small changes, which can be useful when someone wants clear, achievable goals during a busy week.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Christie will talk with each person about what feels most helpful and adjust methods as work progresses. Together they check goals and try new ways of working if something does not fit.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits the person’s schedule. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often help people adapt exercises for home use and set small tasks between meetings to keep progress moving.
