Christine McInnes

Christine McInnes is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people facing addiction, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and grief. She writes plainly about helping clients find their own strengths and build self-acceptance. Her approach centres on helping people recognise who they truly are so they can take small, steady steps forward.

Christine focuses on practical conversations that help people feel steadier day to day. She encourages honest reflection about patterns such as attachment, codependency, or control issues. Sessions tend to look at how past experiences shape current reactions and what can be changed now.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship habits. She also uses client-centred listening to follow what matters most to each person. Motivational interviewing is used when people want to make changes around substance use or other behaviours.

Over five years of practice she has supported people dealing with cancer, chronic illness, caregiver stress, fertility challenges, and the pain of separation. That background includes helping people carry grief and loss alongside complex family dynamics.

Christine aims to offer a calm, straightforward space where concerns can be named and practical steps planned. She invites people to try approaches that fit their goals and to work at a pace that feels manageable. If her style sounds like a match, readers can consider the platform process to begin.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Christine uses attachment-based ideas to help people notice relationship patterns and feel more connected to their needs. This approach looks at how early and recent relationships shape responses now and can help with worry about closeness, abandonment, or communication problems.

She also works in a client-centred way, which means listening closely and following what matters to each person. That helps when a person needs a space to make sense of grief, chronic illness, or family tension without being rushed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that fit, and adjust as progress and preferences become clear. Clients are involved in choosing what feels most useful and at what pace to work.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around caregiving, medical appointments, or work. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when days are busy, and remove travel time so people can use counselling more consistently.
