About Christine
Christine Foster is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing grief, addiction, sleeping and eating difficulties, parenting strain, career pressure, ADHD-related challenges, and LGBT-related issues.
Christine works with compassion and a straightforward style to make starting therapy easier for people who feel uncertain about reaching out. Christine uses a person-centred way of working, which means she starts from what each person brings to the room.
Background and approach
She listens for strengths and preferences, and then adapts her methods to fit practical goals. That approach is often paired with existential ideas that look at meaning, choice and responsibility when life feels overwhelming. Sessions focus on what is most pressing right now.
Conversations aim to build coping skills, calm intense feelings, and find clearer ways to handle relationships and daily life. Christine encourages people to notice their own resources and small steps that lead to change. She holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings more than two decades of experience in the United Kingdom.
Her manner is respectful and down-to-earth, meant to help people feel more able to face hard moments. To begin, people are invited to take a first step and make contact. Christine describes therapy as a collaborative process where the person’s goals guide the work over time.

How Client-Centred and Existential Work Translate Online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what the person brings. It aims to help people feel heard, build on their own strengths, and make choices that suit their life. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and the small decisions that feel hard to make.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, responsibility and the choices people face. It helps when someone is struggling with life changes, loss, identity or a sense of aimlessness. Work with these ideas often involves reflecting on values and clearer ways of living, not technical instructions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and the person collaborate to choose methods that fit goals, preferences and the problems at hand. That may mean spending time building coping skills, discussing difficult feelings, or working on clearer ways of relating to others.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time.
