About Christine

Christine Foster helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and a wide range of other concerns. She works with issues such as addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger, low self esteem, career pressures, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Christine is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings 22 years of experience to her practice. Her style is warm and person centred.

Background and approach

She starts by listening to what a person brings and builds each session around those concerns. Sessions aim to make space for feelings, to understand patterns, and to explore practical ways forward that fit day-to-day life. Christine draws on client-centred ways of working and elements of existential therapy.

That means she focuses on the person in front of her, their choices, values and the meaning they give to life events. She adapts what she uses to suit the person rather than following a single formula. People can expect straightforward conversation and gentle challenge when it helps.

Christine aims to help people find clearer choices, manage intense emotions and cope with major life changes. She encourages clients to use their strengths while trying out different ways of responding. Getting started is acknowledged as a brave step.

Christine invites people to reflect on their priorities, share what matters most, and work together to set realistic goals for therapy.

How client-centred and existential approaches work online

Christine uses client-centred work that focuses on the person's experience, listening closely and helping them name what matters. This approach helps with emotional overwhelm, low self esteem, relationship difficulties and many everyday stresses by prioritising understanding and acceptance.

She also draws on existential ideas that look at life choices, values and meaning. This can help people facing big changes, questions about identity, grief or a sense of stuckness by encouraging reflection on what really matters and what choices are possible.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christine will discuss different ways of working with clients and decide together which methods fit best. That collaborative decision is based on each person's needs, goals and preferences rather than a fixed package.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is useful for a therapy-like experience and visual cues, phone calls suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be handy for brief updates or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and to use therapy alongside work, family or other commitments.
