Christine OPrey , BACP

Christine OPrey is a United Kingdom based Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with 12 years of clinical experience. She is BACP accredited - accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy that reflects recognised standards for training and professional practice. Over more than a decade she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and panic disorder, depression, phobias, trauma and PTSD, OCD, grief and bereavement, social anxiety, health anxiety, anger management, low self esteem, and recovery from narcissistic abuse.

Her practice also addresses stress, coping with life changes, family and parenting challenges, bipolar conditions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD, alongside related issues such as abandonment, body image, codependency, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, isolation and loneliness, and forgiveness and guilt. Christine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques, drawing on cognitive behavioural methods to help people recognize unhelpful thinking, develop practical coping skills, and change behavioural patterns that maintain distress. Her sessions balance structured, goal-focused work with empathic support so clients can build resilience and manage everyday difficulties more effectively.

Therapy is offered in English for adults based in the United Kingdom, with an emphasis on collaboratively developing strategies that fit each person’s circumstances and goals.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Christine OPrey uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help clients identify and modify thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to emotional distress. This approach focuses on practical strategies and skill building to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related concerns by teaching clearer thinking and purposeful behavioural change.

She also incorporates trauma-focused methods when working with people impacted by traumatic experiences or PTSD. These approaches aim to reduce the ongoing impact of traumatic memories and to strengthen coping responses so daily life becomes more manageable.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Christine collaborates with each person to determine which techniques best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is made and circumstances change.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. It enables appointments to fit around work, caregiving, or mobility limitations, and helps maintain continuity of care during life transitions. For many people, these options make it easier to access regular, evidence-based support from licensed professionals and therapists without sacrificing consistency or therapeutic focus.
