How Christine’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy is built around listening and following what the person brings. The counsellor supports people to make sense of their feelings and to use their own strengths to make changes. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress and everyday life challenges because it focuses on what matters to the individual.

Existential Therapy helps people face big life questions and find meaning after loss, change or crisis. It invites honest conversation about values, responsibility and choice, and can be helpful for grief, career shifts and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss options with each person and tailor sessions to their goals and preferences. The choice of methods is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation and allow visual connection, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quieter check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work when travel or distance would otherwise be a barrier.
