Christina TremaineBACP, NCPS

Christina Tremaine is a person-centred counsellor who aims to offer a calm, down-to-earth space for people facing difficult life changes. She writes plainly and listens without judgement, focusing on what each person needs in the moment. Christina brings 25 years of experience to conversations about grief, stress and the challenges of pregnancy and childbirth. Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions centre on the person rather than on labels, and Christina adapts the way she works to fit each individual's needs. She combines practical talking techniques with reflective, emotion-focused work to help people make changes that matter. Christina has worked across community settings and within the NHS, supporting people from many different backgrounds. That experience informs how she responds to bereavement, relationship strain, addictions, and workplace pressures. She uses elements from attachment-based approaches to look at important relationships. Cognitive-behavioural ideas help with patterns of thinking and behaviour, while emotionally-focused work supports people who want to understand and shift difficult emotions. People who choose Christina can expect a tailored plan and a steady, compassionate presence through hard moments. She emphasises respect, sensitivity and practical steps alongside emotional support. If someone is ready to take a first step towards change, she offers collaborative help to move forward.

How her approaches translate to online work

Christina draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behaviour, which can help when people want to understand patterns that repeat in their lives. She also uses client-centred practice, offering a non-judgemental listening style that helps people feel heard and where they can speak openly about difficult topics. Finding the right approach is treated as a collaboration. Christina will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and suggest which elements of therapy might suit them best. That plan can change as progress is made and new issues come up. If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these methods so the work stays practical and focused, whatever format is chosen.
