Christina Murphy, BACP

Christina Murphy is an integrative counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works from a relationship-based approach that prioritises trust, acceptance and non-judgement, creating space for clients to explore thoughts and emotions that have been suppressed or misunderstood.

Drawing on a mix of therapeutic tools, Christina supports people who are seeking change but are unsure where to begin. She helps clients examine and question outmoded beliefs, rules and patterns that once served a purpose but no longer fit, and she frames counselling as a catalyst that can make change feel less overwhelming and more empowering. Change does not always have to be slow - it can be focused and effective when approached with clarity and support.

Christina is BACP registered - BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, intimacy challenges, sleep disruption, anger, career questions, depression, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, codependency, control and dependent personality patterns, divorce and separation, domestic violence, forgiveness, jealousy, life purpose, midlife transitions, narcissism, self-love and social anxiety.

With an emphasis on compassion, kindness and curiosity, Christina aims to help people befriend difficult feelings and gently tend to them so they can move toward greater wellbeing and clearer sense of self.
