About Christine
Christine Burcham is a BACP counsellor who uses an integrative humanist approach. She draws on different therapy methods to match each person’s needs. Christine aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where someone can speak openly about stress, anxiety, relationship trouble or identity concerns such as LGBT issues.
She sees therapy as a collaborative process. Clients work together to make sense of feelings and to find practical steps forward. Sessions focus on helping people feel calmer, stronger and better able to cope with life changes.
Background and approach
Christine has five years of formal counselling experience and many earlier years working in social care and the NHS. That background means she is familiar with a wide range of difficulties, including depression, trauma, grief, addictions and long-term health challenges.
Her approach adapts to the person in front of her, using techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based work and emotionally-focused methods when helpful. The aim is to use tools that fit the issue and the person’s values. She works in plain language and keeps sessions focused on practical, manageable steps.
People who are worried about parenting strains, work stress, eating or sleep issues, or problems with intimacy can find clear strategies and compassionate support. To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to match with a therapist and schedule sessions according to availability.

How Christine's approaches shape online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect how someone gives and receives support now, which can help with relationship and intimacy issues. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation and the pace of change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful during early sessions. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and practical.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or treatment for physical health conditions. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed and can reduce travel time, helping therapy fit into everyday life without demanding large blocks of time.
