Christine has been a godsend to me. I really feel like she understands me but most importantly I felt listened to and heard by her. She has helped me deal with a lot of trauma and start making sense of how to move forward in a positive and healthy way. I know I still have a long journey ahead of me, but thank you Christine for helping me with some tools to try and navigate my way through it.

Hello, My name is Christine Howell and I am a professional Integrative Counsellor who is London based.
I am an Influential Therapist, with extensive experience working with people such as yourself.
I believe that - You are the expert of You - and I use my skillset, experience and knowledge, acquired over the years to work with your presenting issues.
I can help support you with many challenging life problems, from coping with traumatic experiences and events to dealing with depression and anxiety or managing harmful emotions and behaviours or stagnancy.
I have worked in mental and emotional health and well - being for 10 years and have helped support people with anxiety, depression, identity, family conflicts, relationship issues, low self-esteem, and grief - amongst others.
The focus of much of my work over the last 5 years has been around Sexual Abuse and I have extensive experience and knowledge counselling the Non-Abusing Parents of children who have been sexually abused and working with primary, secondary and complex trauma, both present and historic.
I am passionate about counselling, in helping support others in making the courageous decision to move forwards. There is light at the end of the tunnel and watching people emerge and empowered into this light is rewarding. Through experience, I am aware of the multiple challenges’ impacting people, when navigating through dark times and having walked empathically through stressful and desperate times, with my clients, I understand the power of compassion, sensitivity and the presence needed, to make a difference. I am non - judgemental, unbiased and accept you as you are, working with you to explore meaningful goals, gain insight and awareness and push through, with the understanding that therapy can be a difficult journey, so having a safe environment to talk about and process life's difficulties is key.
My therapy style is warm, holding and interactive.
The counselling experience begins with you and I developing a safe and consistent rapport that allows space to grow into a healthy therapeutic alliance.
As an integrative therapist, my approach is Person Centered and combines cognitive-behavioural, humanistic, psychodynamic, transactional analyses, trauma and solution based therapy. Treatment will be tailor made to meet your unique and specific needs.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Christine has been very helpful and supportive during a tough journey in my life. She offered coping techniques and different ways to see things. She has allowed me to gain confidence within myself and I feel in such a better place now after only 8 sessions. Christine was very kind and considerate around my thoughts and feelings and didn’t judge in any way.
Christine is supportive and knowledgeable - she helps me navigate the issues that come up from week to week.i am greatly helped by these sessions
