About Christine
Christine Coyle is a counsellor with seven years' experience working in Northern Ireland and the wider United Kingdom. She holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and combines a background in psychology and criminology with hands-on practice. She runs her own counselling and holistic therapies business and sees adults presenting with a wide range of concerns.
She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and grief.
Background and approach
Christine also supports those struggling with addiction, trauma and abuse, and people facing relationship, intimacy or parenting difficulties. She has additional experience with body image, chronic illness, codependency and caregiver stress. Her style is practical and down to earth.
Sessions often include simple techniques that can be used day to day to improve mindset and lifestyle. She draws on somatic work alongside client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to create an approachable way of working. Christine also uses cognitive behavioural and mindfulness-informed methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping.
She places an emphasis on problem-solving and finding steps that fit each person's life. The aim is steady, manageable change rather than sudden fixes. People come to her wanting change and clarity.
Christine offers a warm, non-judgemental space for those conversations and works collaboratively to identify goals and practical next steps.
Combining body-focused work and talking therapies online
Somatic Therapy brings attention to the body and physical sensations to help people notice how stress or past events show up in their bodies. It can be useful for trauma responses, chronic pain and intense anxiety by offering grounded, movement or breathing-based ways to settle. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own answers through a supportive, empathic relationship. It suits people who want a space to make sense of feelings and values at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical tasks to change unhelpful patterns. It tends to help with anxiety, low mood and everyday coping by giving clear strategies and small experiments to try between sessions. Christine will work with each person to decide which approaches feel most helpful, tailoring the mix of body-based and talk-based methods to their goals and comfort level in a collaborative way.
Online sessions make this flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided body-awareness practices. Phone sessions suit people who prefer voice-only contact. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between calls or work in short, written exchanges. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum while exploring change.
