About Christine

Christine Burcham is a BACP counsellor who uses an integrative humanist approach. She draws on different methods to suit each person's needs and helps people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low confidence or relationship strain.

Christine believes people know what is best for them, but sometimes need help to find that path. In sessions she listens, reflects, and helps clients make sense of their thoughts and emotions. Her style is warm and practical, focused on small steps that build confidence and calm.

She describes therapy as a supportive space where people do not have to carry things alone. Together with clients she explores what is happening, identifies patterns, and tests ways of coping that fit daily life. The aim is to leave people feeling stronger and more able to manage whatever they face.

Christine brings five years of direct counselling experience alongside a longer background in social care and the NHS. Her past roles involved supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and a range of other challenges. That wider background informs her practical, down-to-earth approach.

She works with many common issues including stress, relationship difficulties, addiction concerns, parenting strain, anger and self-esteem problems. Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom. If someone wants to begin, they are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on values-based action. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression and sleep issues. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and can help people understand and change how they relate to others.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to pick methods that match the person's goals and preferences. Sessions can combine techniques so the plan stays flexible and relevant as needs change.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to continue therapy during life changes or when attending in-person sessions would be harder. Registered or accredited professionals adapt materials and exercises to the online setting so work stays practical and focused.
