Christine Coyle , BACP

Christine Coyle is a counsellor and psychotherapist with seven years of practice in Northern Ireland and the wider United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates professional membership with the UK body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

With a background in psychology and criminology and experience in the charity sector, she now owns and runs her own counselling and holistic therapies business. She works with adults across the lifespan and supports people presenting with concerns such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, self-harm and suicidal ideation. She has a particular interest in helping women who are coping with low self-worth.

Christine adopts a practical, skills-based approach that aims to introduce simple techniques clients can use day to day to improve mindset and quality of life. Her practice draws on person-centred, psychodynamic, mindfulness, cognitive behavioural, trauma-focused and somatic therapy approaches. She encourages problem-solving strategies as a route to forward movement and finds the counselling process deeply rewarding.

Christine offers a warm, non-judgemental therapeutic space where she works collaboratively with clients to explore the changes they want and how best to achieve them. If she seems like a good fit, prospective clients are invited to reach out to begin the process.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Christine uses client-centred therapy to create a respectful, non-directive space where the person is supported to explore their experience and find their own solutions - an approach that often helps with issues like low self-esteem, relationship struggles and life transitions.

She also employs cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours through practical exercises and strategies - a method commonly used for anxiety, depression and stress management.

Mindfulness therapy is integrated into sessions to help clients develop present-moment awareness and coping techniques for emotional regulation and stress reduction.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Christine works collaboratively with each client to choose methods that align with their needs, goals and preferences. She will review progress and adapt the plan as necessary to ensure the work feels helpful and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - so clients can select the format that fits their schedule and comfort level. These options make accessing licensed professionals easier for people with busy lives, mobility constraints or those living in different locations, while preserving the continuity and effectiveness of regular therapeutic work.
