About Christina
Christina Murphy is a counsellor who has practised for three years and works from a relationship-based approach. She builds a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, acceptance and non-judgement to help people begin change. Christina describes counselling as a way to act as a catalyst when someone has an urge to change but is unsure where to start.
She combines relational work with practical tools to help people notice and question old beliefs or rules that no longer fit their lives. Sessions focus on what is happening now and how past patterns influence current feelings and choices. This can help with anxiety, low mood, stress and difficulties in close relationships.
Christina uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connections affect adult relationships. She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy to make space for a person to be heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used when it helps to try out different thoughts and behaviours.
People come for many reasons, including grief, trauma, intimacy struggles, career strain and compassion fatigue. Christina also works with issues such as codependency, abandonment and self-esteem concerns. She aims to offer a calm, compassionate space to befriend difficult emotions and try new ways of living.
Christina is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She practises in the United Kingdom and holds sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule.
How Christina’s approaches work for online therapy
Christina blends Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people with relationship patterns, self-worth and unhelpful thinking. Attachment work looks at how early connections shape current relationships and helps people notice repeating patterns that cause distress. Client-centred work offers a listening, accepting space where a person can feel heard and begin to understand their own experience. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy introduces practical ways to test and change thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christina works collaboratively to identify what fits each person’s needs, goals and preferences. She will check in about what helps and adapt methods so sessions remain relevant and practical for everyday life.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session formats available before booking. Many people value online sessions because they can fit meetings around work, reduce travel time and make it easier to get support from home. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video when that better suits a person’s day. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can help arrange times that suit your routine and commitments.
