About Christina
Christina Murphy is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and life purpose among other concerns. Christina invites people who feel stuck after a change in work, relationships or health to look at what matters next.
She works from a relationship built on trust, acceptance and non-judgement. That relationship is the starting point for helping people question old rules and beliefs that no longer fit. Sessions look at what keeps someone feeling stuck and what small steps might open up new possibilities.
Christina uses a mix of approaches, including attachment-based ideas, client-centred conversation and cognitive behavioural techniques. She explains thoughts, feelings and behaviours plainly and helps people try out different ways of responding to them. Practical exercises and reflective discussion are used when they suit the issue at hand.
People often come for help after a big life change, during a midlife shift, or when grief and relationship pain make choices feel harder. She also works with concerns such as caregiver stress, codependency, control issues, addiction to approval, intimacy-related difficulties, sleep problems and anger.
Sessions aim to help people notice patterns and test new behaviours. Christina describes counselling as a catalyst for change that can be steady or quicker depending on what the client wants. She asks questions, listens, and offers tools to try between meetings.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In practice this means talking through recurring relationship themes and noticing how they affect feelings and choices now. Client-centred work focuses on the person’s experience and uses open, reflective conversation to help them make sense of what matters. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses simple exercises to test different ways of responding.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Christina will work collaboratively to identify what best fits the client’s goals and preferences. She explains options, checks in about what feels useful, and adapts procedures as the work develops.
