Christine Coyle

Christine Coyle is a counsellor with seven years’ experience working in Northern Ireland. She holds BACP accreditation, and she combines psychological and criminology backgrounds with community-sector experience to support adults through difficult times. Christine aims to make first contact straightforward and approachable for people who feel anxious about asking for help.

She focuses on practical techniques that can be used day to day to ease stress, low self-worth, anxiety and depression. She also works with issues such as addiction, trauma and grief, eating and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, anger, and life changes. Narcissism appears among her listed topics of interest and is considered alongside relationship and communication problems.

Christine draws on client-centred work to build an accepting space where people can speak honestly. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and try small experiments in thinking and behaviour. Mindfulness and psychodynamic perspectives inform how she helps people notice patterns that have developed over time.

Her practice includes attention to attachment, abandonment wounds, codependency, body image and caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness and disability, and those coping with divorce, domestic violence, or substance misuse. Sessions aim to create clear, achievable steps rather than vague promises.

Clients can expect a conversational style that focuses on what matters most to them. Christine encourages collaboration, short practical exercises and problem-solving strategies to help move forward. To begin, people are invited to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-centred work puts the person’s own goals at the centre and aims to create a supportive, listening space. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and a chance to make sense of their feelings without pressure.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying practical changes in behaviour. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and tackling repetitive patterns that make daily life harder.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills to steady the mind and reduce reactivity. These practices can help with stress, emotional overwhelm and improving focus in everyday tasks.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods together in a collaborative way. That process helps shape sessions to each person rather than following a fixed script.

The profile does not specify session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel, and it can allow shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when that suits practical needs. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and mindfulness practices for remote sessions to keep therapy focused and manageable.
