Christina Murphy

Christina Murphy is a counsellor who builds therapy on trust, acceptance and non-judgement. She introduces tools that help people question old rules and beliefs that no longer fit. Christina aims to be a steady presence when change feels overwhelming. She holds a BACP credential and works from the United Kingdom.

Christina uses relationship-focused work to help people see how past patterns affect today. She helps clients notice unhelpful thinking and behaviour, then tries practical steps to shift them. That can include thinking exercises or talking through how early attachments influence current relationships.

Her work suits people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and burnout. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues. Additional focus areas include abandonment, codependency and caregiver stress.

Sessions often look calm and straightforward. Christina listens without judgement and helps people name feelings that have been suppressed. Then she gently challenges unhelpful beliefs and suggests alternatives that fit the person’s life.

Her aim is to make change feel possible rather than daunting. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where small shifts can lead to clearer choices. People who want practical, relational support around women's issues and life transitions may find this approach useful.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. In practice this means noticing patterns in relationships and gently testing new ways of connecting to reduce repeated hurt.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement. The aim is to help people name difficult feelings and build self-compassion through a supportive therapeutic relationship.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It uses clear exercises and small experiments to change thinking that fuels anxiety, low mood or sleep difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christina will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide which combination of methods makes most sense. The plan can shift as therapy progresses so it stays relevant to what the client needs.

If you are considering online work, please confirm available session options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit a meeting around work, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when days are busy. Talk with the therapist about what will best suit your routine and energy levels so sessions can slot into everyday life.
