Finally, she had found an occupation she liked that other people thought she was good at. This was a massive relief. In her early forties, she married the love of her life, Dr David Delvin. Soon afterwards, she decided it was time to leave news presenting to train as a psychotherapist and she also became a problem page columnist for various publications including TV Times, Best, BBC Parenting, The Scotsman and Woman. In addition, she regularly broadcast relationship advice on Trisha, The Good Sex Guide …Late and from the BBC’s Breakfast sofa.Later, she and her husband set up a practice in Harley Street, and they worked together there and collaborated on several books, websites and newspaper columns. Over the decades, Christine was commissioned by Hodder and Piatkus to write ten self-help books including Get the Happiness Habit, How to Mend a Broken Heart and Too Young to Get Old. Now, in her seventies, she makes video podcasts on positive ageing and writes newspaper columns on the same subject. Additionally, she writes novels for and about older people. Her previous titles in this genre were Who’d Have Thought It? and It’s Who We Are.
