About Christine
Christine Burcham is a BACP counsellor who uses an integrative, humanist approach. She combines different therapeutic methods to match what each person needs. Christine aims to create a straightforward space where people can talk without pretence and start to feel steadier.
She describes therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions focus on making sense of thoughts and feelings, and finding practical steps to feel calmer and more in control. The work often addresses stress, anxiety, depression and relationship issues using techniques chosen for the individual.
Background and approach
Christine has five years of named clinical experience and a long background working in social care and the NHS. That earlier work involved supporting people with mental health and emotional difficulties, including trauma, grief and low self-esteem. Her practice also covers areas such as addiction, ADHD, bipolar and compassion fatigue.
Her approach blends methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy with attachment-based and client-centred ideas. This lets her focus on thoughts and actions, emotional bonds, and the person’s own priorities. Christine invites people to shape the pace and direction of their work.
People come for help with parenting stress, eating and sleeping struggles, career worries and coping with life changes. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, bereavement and the fallout of abusive experiences. The goal is to leave sessions with clearer thinking and workable steps forward.

How Christine works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person’s needs. Sessions are collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins if needed. It can also be useful when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are required, but check which formats Christine currently offers before arranging appointments.
