About Christine
Christine Burcham is a BACP counsellor who draws on several therapeutic approaches to meet each person's needs. She describes therapy as a supportive space where people can speak honestly without pretending. Her aim is to help people make sense of difficult feelings and find practical ways to feel calmer and more capable.
Christine works in a gentle, collaborative way. She listens first, then uses methods that suit the person in front of her. Sessions focus on real-life problems such as anxiety, low confidence, grief or relationship strain, and also practical challenges like sleep, eating or coping with major change.
She brings five years of direct therapy experience along with many more years working in social care and the NHS. That background includes supporting people with trauma, depression, bipolar, addiction and compassion fatigue across diverse identities and life stages.
Her approach is integrative and humanist in style, which means she adapts what she offers to fit each person. Techniques from cognitive behavioural work, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused thinking and emotionally-focused methods may be used depending on the situation.
Christine also supports people dealing with parenting stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness, body image and issues linked to neurodiversity such as autism or ADHD. She sees the therapeutic relationship as a place to try new ways of relating, to build stronger boundaries and to restore a sense of control.
If someone wants to start therapy they complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Christine's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck on unhelpful thinking. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and testing new, more helpful ways of thinking. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and close relationships shape current patterns with partners and others, and it can help with intimacy, abandonment feelings and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and make decisions together with the client based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps choose whether to emphasise behavioural experiments, values work, emotional processing or relationship-focused tasks.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work during life transitions or when managing long-term health conditions, while still focusing on practical strategies and emotional change.
