Christine Coyle , BACP

Christine Coyle is a counsellor and psychotherapist who has worked in Northern Ireland for seven years. She trained with a background in psychology and criminology and brings experience from the charity sector to her current role running a counselling and holistic therapies practice. She works with adults across the lifespan and supports people presenting with issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, self-harm, and suicidal ideation.

Christine has a particular interest in supporting women who struggle with low self-worth and helps clients explore practical steps toward change. Her approach emphasises developing simple, everyday techniques to improve mindset and lifestyle, and she uses a blend of person-centred, psychodynamic, mindfulness, cognitive behavioural, trauma-focused, and somatic methods to tailor support to each person. She has had success helping clients identify problem-solving strategies and put them into practice.

Christine values the counselling process and finds the work rewarding. She aims to create a warm, safe, and non-judgemental space where people can work collaboratively to improve their wellbeing. Christine is a member of BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Christine draws on client-centred therapy to create a respectful and non-directive space where the client’s own goals and experiences guide the work - this approach is useful for building self-esteem and exploring personal values. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based method that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness therapy features in her practice as well, teaching present-focused awareness and simple exercises to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape a plan that feels manageable and meaningful.

Online therapy with Christine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives or to connect from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try brief check-ins between appointments, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each step of the therapeutic journey.
