Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps that help people feel calmer and more able to cope. Her background includes five years of direct counselling experience, together with many years working in social care and the NHS. That work involved supporting people with mental health and emotional difficulties.

She has experience with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and life changes among other concerns. In sessions she uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy as needed. She also draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas to keep the work personalised.

The emphasis remains on what helps the individual move forward. Christine offers sessions in English and works with people across the United Kingdom. Therapy is collaborative - she helps people weigh options and find strategies that fit their life.

Her style is straightforward, warm and focused on practical progress.

Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling

Christine often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and learning small, practical actions that reduce the hold of difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can help with anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.

She also works with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a hands-on approach that identifies unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches skills to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss options and decide together which methods suit the person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around everyday life.
