Therapeutic approaches and online support

Christine often draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on providing a respectful and empathic space where the person leads the pace of change - this approach is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and coping with life transitions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based method that helps identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and develop strategies to manage anxiety, depression and stress. Mindfulness Therapy is another strand in her work, introducing simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce rumination and support emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christine works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress is made.

Online therapy with Christine is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and time zones. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family and other commitments, and allow therapists and licensed professionals to support clients without requiring travel.
