Christina Tremaine

Christina Tremaine is a person-centred counsellor who aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. She writes and speaks plainly, offering a warm, down-to-earth style that many people find easy to work with. Christina brings 25 years of experience supporting people through loss, anxiety and major life changes.

She uses a gentle, interactive way of working. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on making small, manageable changes. Christina combines person-centred work with cognitive-behavioural ideas and attachment-focused thinking to help people understand patterns and try different responses.

Christina has experience in community settings and has previously worked with the NHS. That background informs how she plans sessions and responds when someone is very distressed or grieving. She aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion.

Sessions are tailored to each person. Christina listens first and then builds a simple plan together, drawing on a range of approaches such as emotionally-focused ideas and existential questions when they seem useful. She also draws on techniques that can help with sleep problems, addictive behaviours and relationship difficulties.

Christina emphasises practical support alongside emotional listening. She encourages people to take small steps that fit with their life and values. If someone wants to focus on women's issues, grief, or coping with change, she can make those topics central to the work.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early patterns affect current relationships and emotional reactions. Online sessions using this approach can help people notice repeated patterns and practise new ways of relating in everyday life, especially around trust and closeness.

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and helping the person lead the conversation. In remote sessions this means the counsellor reflects the client's concerns and supports self-directed change, which can suit people who need time to find their own answers.

Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test alternative actions. Delivered online, CBT often includes practical tasks between sessions such as mood tracking or small behavioural experiments to try during the week.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then agree a way of working together. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy continues.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people value online work for fitting sessions into a busy week, reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when life gets hectic. Others find online sessions helpful when they want to work from a quieter space or avoid being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals adapt their approach so therapy can be practical and relevant to everyday life.
