Christine Porter

Christine Porter is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people through anger, anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes. She works with clients on relationship and communication problems, grief, work stress and depression. Christine holds BACP and brings four years of recent experience alongside earlier training in counselling and coaching.

Her sessions are collaborative and straightforward. She asks what the client wants from counselling and sets practical goals together. Christine uses solution-focused techniques to spot small, useful changes and builds on what already works for the client.

She describes her style as warm and approachable, aiming to help people reconnect with their sense of self after difficult events. Christine also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness or additional learning needs. She will talk about boundaries, self-care and ways to manage intense feelings like anger.

Christine’s background includes counselling and coaching qualifications from training in the early 2000s, and more recent practice over four years. She describes her work as transformational and empowering, and she looks for clients who are committed to making change.

In sessions she uses a mix of person-centred counselling and solution-focused methods, with influences from cognitive-behavioural ideas. Clients who prefer a therapist who listens, reflects and helps set practical steps may find this an effective way to work.

To begin, clients follow the platform matching steps and arrange sessions according to schedule. Christine works in English and accepts international clients.

How these approaches guide online counselling

Client-centred therapy places the client's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, mirrors what the client says and helps them clarify values and choices. This approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns.

Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes. The counsellor and client identify practical next steps and build on what already works. This can be useful for managing anger, stress and short-term goals such as communication or workplace difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then agree on a way of working together. That collaborative decision is revisited as therapy progresses to ensure it still fits the client's needs.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around daily life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to maintain regular appointments during busy weeks or when juggling caregiving and work.
