About Christine
Christine Burcham is a BACP registered counsellor with five years' direct practice experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and grief. Christine also addresses concerns such as self-esteem, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and the challenges of major life changes.
She uses an integrative humanist style and draws on different approaches to suit each person's needs. Sessions focus on talking through current problems, noticing patterns that cause distress, and finding practical steps to manage day-to-day life. Christine aims to help people feel steadier and more able to make choices that fit their circumstances.
Her background includes long experience in social care and work with the NHS, supporting people with mental health and emotional difficulties. That history informs a practical, down-to-earth way of working with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and self-esteem problems. Christine is based in the United Kingdom and works in English.
She regularly uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and emotionally-focused work when these match the person's goals. In sessions she combines listening with clear suggestions and experiments to try between meetings. Clients can expect a collaborative process where the therapist helps sort out what matters most and what to try next.
People often come for help with career stress, relationship pain, ADHD-related struggles, or coping after loss. Christine also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, or body image and attachment concerns.
Therapy approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers clear strategies to change patterns that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep issues. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotional experience and attachment patterns and can help with relationship pain and intimacy-related struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will help you decide which methods to try based on your concerns, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as you learn what helps most in practice.
