About Christine
Christine Burcham is a counsellor who mixes humanist ideas with practical approaches to suit each person's needs. She is BACP accredited and aims to make sessions straightforward and down to earth. Christine focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low confidence and parenting concerns.
She keeps sessions simple and collaborative. Clients can expect a calm space to talk through thoughts and feelings. The aim is to make sense of difficult moments and develop small, realistic steps forward.
Background and approach
Christine draws on a range of evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas. She also uses attachment-based work and emotionally focused ideas when relationships and connection are central to a concern. These methods are blended to match what feels most useful for each person.
Her background includes five years working as a counsellor and many earlier roles in social care and health settings. That experience contributes practical knowledge of common life pressures and caregiving strains. Christine supports people facing grief, trauma, addiction, sleep or eating problems, and long-term health challenges.
Sessions are offered in English and are available online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. The first steps are simple: complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions that fit around other commitments.

How Christine's approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and making life changes by teaching practical exercises to change how someone responds to difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses simple, structured techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, often helping with low mood, anxiety and sleep problems.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current connection and trust. It can help when relationship patterns, intimacy issues or attachment wounds are getting in the way of feeling supported with others.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and experiment with methods that fit the person's needs. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel relevant and practical rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around family life, work and other commitments.
