About Christine
Christine Viner is a BACP counsellor based in Lincolnshire, England. She has five years of practice and experience working across the NHS, social care, and with people who have physical disabilities. Christine also has experience working with the armed forces and their families and offers online support for clients in the United Kingdom and beyond.
She works from a person-centred approach that treats each person as an individual. Christine listens first and asks questions to understand how someone experiences their life.
Background and approach
Together she and the client make a simple plan for how sessions will run and how they will communicate between meetings. Christine uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people notice and make sense of emotions that feel confusing or overwhelming. She also draws on attachment-based thinking to look at how early bonds and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour.
Sessions aim to create steadier patterns of relating and clearer emotional understanding. Her practice supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship or family difficulties. Additional areas she works with include parenting concerns, ADHD, caregiver stress, fertility and adoption-related issues, and problems with communication and commitment.
Christine offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire to match with the service and to help schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support
Approaches that suit online counselling
Christine blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with attachment-based and person-centred ideas. EFT helps people identify and name painful emotions and then use those emotions to change unhelpful patterns in relationships. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds and current connections shape feelings and reactions, which can help with relationship worries and anxiety. Client-centred therapy places the client at the heart of the work, with the counsellor listening closely and following the client’s pace and priorities.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christine will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide what feels most helpful. She works collaboratively so plans can be adjusted as the work progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family or travel commitments.
