About Christie
Christie Henderson welcomes people who are struggling with sleep, stress, anxiety and life changes. She helps clients who feel worn down by parenting demands, relationship strain or ongoing worry. Christie writes plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable. She works in English and practises in the United Kingdom.
Christie is a BACP counsellor with five years of professional experience. She offers one-to-one sessions that are adapted to each person’s needs. In session she listens without judgement, helps people name what matters most, and plans small steps to move forward.
Her approach draws on client-centred work and mindfulness. That means the conversation is guided by the client’s concerns while building simple awareness skills to reduce stress and improve rest. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set practical goals and somatic ideas to help people notice how their body holds tension.
Christie has supported people through grief, trauma and relationship difficulties. She also works with issues such as addiction, ADHD and body image, and addresses concerns related to intimacy, parenting and career change. She tailors sessions to what each person needs rather than applying the same plan to everyone.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and Christie aims to make that step less daunting. She encourages clear, achievable goals and follows the client’s pace. The focus is on small changes that add up to better sleep, reduced anxiety and improved day-to-day functioning.
How Christie’s approaches work online
Client-centred therapy puts the client’s priorities at the heart of each session. The counsellor follows what matters most to the person, asks open questions and helps set goals that fit the client’s life. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices and breathing exercises to reduce stress and support better sleep; it suits people who want tools to calm a busy mind. Solution-focused work targets small, achievable changes and clear next steps so progress can be tracked week to week.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Christie will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they will choose methods that feel practical and realistic for the client’s situation, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family life, work breaks or nights when travelling would be difficult. It can also allow shorter check-ins by phone or a focus on practices that don’t require being on camera, depending on what the therapist and client agree suits them both.
