About Christine

Christine Gooddy is a counsellor with 13 years' experience supporting adults who have survived historical abuse and people facing depression, grief or major life changes. She works to build a calm, respectful space where clients lead the pace and focus of sessions. Christine uses a person-centred stance and adapts her approach to each person she meets.

She trained in Person Centred counselling and practises in ways that draw on that foundation alongside other methods.

Background and approach

Much of her work focuses on trauma and the feelings that follow abuse or loss. She also helps with relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem and career uncertainty. Christine describes how lived experience informs her practice, having navigated depression and the techniques that eased it.

That personal perspective shapes her emphasis on practical coping tools and on helping people quiet their inner critic. Her background includes group work with adult survivors as well as one-to-one sessions. She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy when these fit a person's needs, and draws on Gottman ideas for relationship-focused concerns.

Sessions are shaped collaboratively so methods match the issue at hand. Christine is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and runs online sessions in English.

How Christine's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The counsellor follows the client's lead, reflects what is said and helps people find their own answers; this is useful for grief, low mood and building confidence.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical tasks and simple experiments to reduce unhelpful thinking and improve daily routines, which can help with depression, anxiety and coping after trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss different methods and decide together which fit a person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and needs. Video helps with face-to-face interaction when that matters, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat suit quick check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, caregiving or travel.
