About Christine

Christine Burcham is a counsellor who blends several approaches to suit each person's needs. She works from a humanist, integrative viewpoint and draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Her practice aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low confidence or relationship worries.

She offers a calm space to talk without pressure. Sessions focus on making sense of feelings and finding practical steps to feel steadier and more able to cope.

Background and approach

The first meetings are used to understand what matters most to the client and set realistic goals. Christine has five years of direct counselling experience and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Before moving into counselling roles she spent many years working in social care and the NHS supporting people with mental health and emotional challenges.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar, relationship and intimacy issues, and worries about parenting, work and addictive behaviours. She also supports people facing long-term illness, caregiving stress and neurodiversity-related issues.

Sessions are aimed at helping people build skills to manage difficult thoughts and emotions, and to improve communication and connection. Christine emphasises collaboration, listening carefully and choosing approaches that fit the person rather than using a single method.

Ways of working Christine names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Christine's approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes by focusing on what matters and taking practical steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and helps people develop different ways of thinking and responding. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods might fit best. That choice is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs and circumstances shift.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people read body language and keep a conversation close to face-to-face. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break or commute. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins or more flexible timing for people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, caring duties and other commitments while still working with a registered or accredited professional.
