Christine Foster

Christine Foster is a counsellor with 22 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger and related concerns. She works with issues such as depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions and coping with life changes. Christine brings a calm, person-centred style and a practical focus to sessions.

Her approach starts by listening to what each person brings. She treats clients as experts in their own lives and looks for existing strengths to build on. Christine adapts her methods to suit the person in front of her and may draw on different therapeutic ideas when helpful.

In practice she focuses on everyday steps people can use between sessions. That might mean trying small changes, testing new ways of talking about feelings, or practising simple techniques to manage stress and sleeping difficulties. She also supports people dealing with intimacy issues, parenting strain, career challenges and compassion fatigue.

Christine is registered with the BACP, which is noted as BACP. She offers therapy from the United Kingdom and works in English. She welcomes queries from people who live outside the UK and can discuss how to fit therapy around daily life.

To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to availability. Christine aims to be straightforward and encouraging during first contacts, helping people move from the initial step to ongoing work.

How Christine’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and following what the client brings. It helps when someone needs a space to talk through anger, anxiety or grief and wants a therapist who reflects and supports their own insights. Existential Therapy looks at life choices, meaning and how people cope with change. It can be useful for people facing big transitions, career questions or struggles with purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and together they will plan a way forward. That means being flexible about techniques and trying approaches that fit the person rather than imposing one model.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, save travel time and allow quieter check-ins during a lunch break or between tasks. It can also suit people who prefer not to use video every time, or who need a shorter telephone update instead of a full session. Confirm the formats offered when you sign up so you know what will work best for your routine.
