Christine OPrey

Christine OPrey is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom. She combines practical, evidence-based approaches with clear, down-to-earth guidance to help people facing eating and food-related issues alongside other concerns. Her manner is straightforward and focused on small, manageable steps.

She has 12 years of experience and uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a common evidence-based method that helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. In sessions she helps people tackle anxiety, panic, depression and trauma-related problems by breaking them into bite-sized goals. Sessions are aimed at making everyday life feel more doable.

Christine also supports people dealing with stress, anger, low self-esteem and grief. She works with issues such as body image, caregiver strain, codependency, control problems and isolation by helping clients identify patterns and try new ways of coping. Practical strategies and rehearsal are often part of the work.

People who come because of sleeping problems, parenting strain, ADHD or compassion fatigue are offered structured tools and planning to reduce overwhelm. She addresses relationship difficulties like communication problems, jealousy, abandonment and separation by focusing on clear, stepwise changes that clients can test between sessions.

Her approach is collaborative and goal-focused. She helps clients set realistic steps, checks progress, and adjusts the plan as needed. Those interested should confirm current session options before booking.

How evidence-based techniques work online

Christine frequently uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical ways to test new behaviours and reduce distress. This approach is often used for anxiety, panic, phobias and low mood.

She also applies other evidence-based techniques that target trauma-related symptoms and grief by helping people process difficult memories at a manageable pace and build steady coping skills. These methods aim to reduce avoidance and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try a method that fits your situation, then check how it is going and adapt as needed. You and the therapist decide together what works best.

Confirm the specific session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel. It also allows shorter check-ins, sessions without video when needed, and saves travel time so people can focus on practical progress between meetings.
