About Christina

Christina Murphy is a counsellor who focuses on building a trusting, accepting relationship with each person she meets. She describes her work as grounded in non-judgement and simple human connection. Christina uses a range of practical tools to help people who want change but are unsure where to begin.

She helps people question beliefs and habits that once helped but now hold them back. Sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to name and sit with, rather than push them away. Christina frames counselling as a way to act as a catalyst for change that can feel empowering rather than overwhelming.

Her approach emphasises kindness and self-compassion while people work through painful experiences. That includes grief, trauma and issues that affect relationships and intimacy. She also supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger and trouble sleeping.

Christina uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques. This blend is used to focus on the relationship in the room and on practical steps to loosen unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She aims to help people reconnect with what matters to them and to find clearer ways forward.

Christina has three years of counselling experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. To start, people use the site matching process to arrange sessions according to her availability.

How Christina's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the relationship at the heart of the work and focuses on being heard without judgement; it helps when people struggle to name difficult emotions or to trust their own choices. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can be useful for worries about closeness, abandonment or repeated relationship issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers practical techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christina will work with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. That discussion is collaborative and based on an individual's goals, history and what feels manageable in sessions.

The original biography did not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are available before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around busy days, reduce travel time and make it easier to attend regular sessions. Online conversations also allow for shorter check-ins or longer therapy blocks depending on what someone needs, and the therapist will help tailor the practical arrangements so therapy fits everyday life.
