Christine Asikuru

Christine Asikuru is a BACP-registered counsellor with nine years of experience. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people coping with anger, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship strain. Her approach aims to help people make sense of strong emotions and find steadier ways of responding.

Christine draws on person-centred principles that start by listening and understanding each person’s experience. She combines this with practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness to help change unhelpful thinking and manage stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used to clarify values and move towards meaningful action.

Sessions typically focus on identifying repeated patterns that make life harder and on small, practical steps to interrupt them. Christine encourages reflection about feelings and behaviour so people can build inner strength and more helpful routines. She also uses emotionally-focused ideas to look at how attachment and communication shape relationships.

Her background includes work in educational settings where she provided one-to-one and group counselling for students and parents. Christine’s qualifications include a BA (Hons) in Counselling and a BACP accreditation. She also holds a Foundation degree diploma level 5 in Counselling and Psychotherapy and CPCAB certificates in counselling skills.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. People are invited to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that match what matters to you. It can help with anger, anxiety and major life changes by shifting attention from unhelpful worry to meaningful steps. Client-Centred Therapy puts your experience at the centre of the session; the therapist listens carefully and reflects back what they hear to help you understand your feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical techniques to reduce unhelpful reactions and improve coping.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with you to try different ways of working and agree what feels most useful based on your goals and preferences. Together you can tailor techniques and pacing so sessions fit your needs.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments from where you are. Practical benefits include simpler scheduling, shorter check-ins when needed, and options that may suit quieter surroundings or limited bandwidth.
