About Christina
Christina Tremaine is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom, with 25 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, depression, addictions and parenting strains. Christina also addresses issues such as sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career stress and ADHD-related coping.
Christina uses a person-centred style and draws on several approaches to suit each person. She blends attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused methods when helpful. This means sessions can include talking about feelings, looking at unhelpful thinking patterns and practising different ways to respond in relationships.
Her background includes community work and past roles with the NHS, where she worked with diverse clients. That experience informs how she discusses bereavement, domestic violence, substance problems and end-of-life concerns. Christina also lists additional focus areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, pregnancy and childbirth, and obsessions and compulsions.
Sessions aim to be down-to-earth and interactive. Conversations are practical and straightforward, and may include reflection, problem-solving and skill-building. The pace and emphasis are adjusted to what the individual needs at the time.
Christina supports adults through difficult life changes, including coping with loss and the stresses of parenting. She works in English and practices within the UK framework supplied by her BACP and NCPS registrations.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Christina often combines attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused methods when working with adults. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how early bonds affect current reactions. Cognitive behavioural work identifies unhelpful thought patterns and tests small behaviour changes to reduce distress. Emotionally-focused methods attend to feelings in the moment and help people name and work through strong emotions in relation to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals and preferences and agree on which methods to use. This is a collaborative process and the plan can be adjusted as the sessions progress.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy into a busy day and having appointments without travel. Remote work can make shorter check-ins or evening sessions easier to manage around parenting or work. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can help match an approach and schedule that fit everyday life.
