About Christine

Christine Fleming is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) in the United Kingdom, with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes, and helps those affected by pregnancy or infant loss.

She uses straightforward talking and listening to help someone make sense of what is happening. Sessions focus on what is causing distress now and on small, practical steps to reduce overwhelm. Christine draws on client-centred ways of working to keep the conversation grounded in the person’s own priorities.

Christine also uses cognitive behavioural tools when it helps to spot unhelpful thinking and to build different habits. Mindfulness approaches are offered for managing anxiety and for slowing a racing mind. Hypnotherapy is another option she sometimes brings in to support change at a different level.

She has experience working with volunteers and people from two counselling charities, both in person and online. That background means she is used to brief and longer term work, and to adapting to different practical needs.

Sessions are conversational and clear. The emphasis is on making things more manageable day to day and on identifying actions someone can try between sessions. Christine invites people to take the first step and complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first appointment.

People who want to work in English and who are based in the United Kingdom will find her practice most relevant. International clients are not currently accepted.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's priorities at the centre of each session. The therapist listens and reflects back what matters to the client, helping them make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach is useful for people who want to be heard and to set the agenda for change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking, testing it out, and trying small behaviour changes between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to manage overwhelming feelings and reduce rumination. These techniques can be used as brief exercises in an online session and as short practices to use in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process can include mixing approaches as needs change.

The biography notes experience with both in person and online work, but does not list specific session formats here. Check the therapist's current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work or busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed.
