About Christine
Christine OPrey is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of practice. She holds BACP accreditation, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration. Christine works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma-related difficulties, and she often helps those struggling with sleep, low self-esteem and anger.
She uses straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques in sessions. Christine has practical experience supporting people through grief, panic and phobias as well as health anxiety and obsessive symptoms. Her background also includes work with clients affected by narcissistic abuse and people managing bipolar challenges.
Christine pays attention to everyday pressures such as parenting strain, caregiver stress and compassion fatigue. She also helps clients who feel stuck by relationship issues like abandonment, commitment worries or communication problems. Other concerns she supports include codependency, body image, isolation and feelings of emptiness.
Her approach is hands-on and problem-focused. Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep problems going and to build small, manageable changes. Clients can expect clear explanations, practical tasks between sessions and help tracking progress over time.
For people looking to start, Christine asks that they use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to her availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and international clients are not currently accepted.
How evidence-based methods translate to online therapy
Christine describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-life changes. One common approach she uses is cognitive-behavioural style work, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches tools to break unhelpful patterns. This can help with anxiety, panic, phobias and low mood by offering step-by-step strategies.She also draws on trauma-informed practices to help people affected by past abuse or distressing events, using careful pacing and stabilising techniques to make progress feel manageable. For grief and complex emotional reactions she supports practical coping strategies alongside space to process feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christine will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods to what suits each person. This collaborative process helps shape whether the focus moves more towards skills practice, emotional processing or a mix of both.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow follow-up work between meetings. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals can tailor pacing and techniques to fit everyday life and responsibilities.
