About Christine
Christine Porter is a counsellor who uses a person-centred way of working. She places the person at the centre of sessions and aims to build trust quickly so people can speak honestly about what matters. Christine holds BACP accreditation, and she brings four years of professional experience to her practice.
She focuses on anxiety, stress and depression alongside relationship and family concerns. Christine also helps with grief, anger, self-esteem and life transitions.
Background and approach
Additional areas she addresses include chronic illness and disability, caregiver stress, communication problems and feelings of isolation. Sessions are collaborative and practical. Christine asks people what they want to change and then works alongside them to set goals.
She uses a mix of client-centred listening and solution-focused techniques to help people notice small shifts that add up over time. Her background includes work with people experiencing workplace stress, bullying, and difficulties with commitment or separation. Christine pays attention to how thoughts affect behaviour and helps people try new, more helpful ways of thinking and acting.
She also supports people with fertility concerns, family of origin issues and forgiveness work. Christine aims to be warm and straightforward in sessions. She invites clients to take an active role in their progress and brings practical tools from her experience.
The result is steady, goal-orientated work that stays rooted in what the person needs right now.
How client-centred and solution-focused work translates online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of work. The counsellor listens deeply, reflects what is said and helps people feel heard so they can make sense of difficult feelings. This approach is useful for anxiety, loss and low self-esteem because it helps build trust and clarity.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and on what is already working. It helps people set concrete goals and try short experiments between sessions. This approach can suit stress, relationship problems and life changes where quick, actionable shifts are helpful.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process. Christine will work collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful based on the person's goals and preferences. The therapist and client review progress and adjust the approach as needed so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be quicker and easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress with a registered or accredited professional.
