About Christine
Christine Burcham is a BACP counsellor who draws on several therapeutic approaches to meet each person’s needs. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low confidence or relationship difficulties. Christine aims to help people make sense of their thoughts and emotions and find practical ways to feel steadier and more able to cope.
She works in an integrative, humanist style and chooses methods based on what suits the person in front of her.
Background and approach
That might include trauma-focused work when past harm is involved, or cognitive behavioural techniques for unhelpful thinking patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas also inform her sessions when they fit the situation. Christine has five years of formal counselling experience alongside earlier roles in social care and the NHS.
That background means she has supported people with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and self-esteem concerns. She also has experience with issues such as addiction, caring stress, chronic illness, eating and sleeping difficulties, and life transitions. Sessions are practical and conversational.
Christine encourages people to name what matters to them, try small experiments between sessions, and build routines that support wellbeing. She aims to work at a pace the person finds comfortable and to adjust techniques as needs change. People can expect a straightforward approach that focuses on immediate problems and longer term patterns.
Christine speaks English and carries out work in the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work
Christine blends trauma-focused methods with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to suit the person she is working with. Trauma-focused work helps people look at past harm in a paced way and reduce its ongoing impact. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing painful thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal values rather than being pushed around by feelings. Attachment-based ideas help people understand patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence current reactions.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will listen to a person's story, discuss goals and preferences, and suggest methods that seem most helpful. Plans are reviewed as work progresses so the approach can change if something else fits better.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual contact for deeper conversations while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter exchanges, reflection between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options help therapy fit around work, caring duties and day-to-day life, making it easier to keep momentum and try new ways of coping.
