Christine McInnes , BACP

Christine McInnes works from the conviction that people already possess the inner resources needed to meet life’s challenges. She focuses on helping people recognise and draw on their existing strengths so they can build confidence, resilience, and a clearer sense of purpose.

Her practice honours each person’s wholeness and encourages self-acceptance as a foundation for lasting change. Christine supports clients in acknowledging all parts of themselves rather than pushing aspects away, believing that authenticity unlocks greater creativity, personal power, and emotional stability. This approach aims to help individuals move toward the goals they set for their lives while learning to live more fully as themselves.

Christine is BACP registered - BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and she practises in the United Kingdom. With five years of experience, she has worked with people facing addictions, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and grief. She also supports those dealing with abandonment and attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, codependency, communication and commitment problems, divorce and separation, fertility concerns, and related family of origin challenges.

Her style centres on respectful collaboration and practical support, guiding people to make choices that reflect their values and strengths.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Christine uses attachment-based and client-centered approaches alongside motivational interviewing to guide online work. Attachment-based therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections, helping people address attachment wounds and build more secure ways of relating. Client-centered therapy emphasises empathy and acceptance, offering a collaborative space where clients' perspectives lead the pace and focus of change. Motivational interviewing is a practical, goal-focused method that helps people resolve ambivalence about change and strengthen their own motivation, often used when addressing addictions or behaviour change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christine works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the approach as understanding deepens and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Christine is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and circumstances. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from a distance, accommodate fluctuating energy or caregiving demands, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult.
