Christine Burcham, BACP

Christine Burcham is a qualified, BACP-registered integrative humanist therapist who adapts her approach to suit each client's individual needs. She draws on a range of therapeutic techniques to support people facing anxiety, stress, low confidence and relationship difficulties, and she works alongside clients who may be coping outwardly while struggling privately. Registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom - she combines practical methods with an empathetic, human-centred stance to help clients explore their experience.

Christine believes that people are the experts on their own lives but sometimes benefit from a compassionate guide to help them make sense of things. In sessions she offers a space to examine thoughts and feelings, to identify patterns, and to develop ways forward that promote greater calm, resilience and a renewed sense of control. She brings five years of therapeutic practice together with experience of working within social care and the NHS supporting people of different ages and backgrounds with issues such as depression, trauma, grief, self-esteem concerns and life changes.

Working collaboratively, Christine aims to help clients feel heard and understood while exploring practical steps and emotional shifts that support meaningful change and improved wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings rather than trying to eliminate them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape patterns in adult connections and emotions, offering a way to address relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues and trauma by exploring attachment needs and repair.

Christine works collaboratively with clients to find the approach that best fits their needs, goals and preferences. Identifying the right mix of techniques is part of the process, and she partners with each person to tailor sessions so that the chosen methods feel comfortable and practical for their situation.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or access support from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent, ongoing care and adapt how sessions are delivered to match individual routines and communication styles.
