About Christine
Christine Foster is a counsellor with 22 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also supports people facing addictions, bipolar challenges, parenting strain, sleep or eating difficulties, ADHD, career concerns and compassion fatigue.
Her style is client-centred, which means sessions start with what the person brings and build from there.
Background and approach
She listens for strengths and works alongside clients to find helpful ways forward. She may draw on other approaches when they seem useful for a particular situation. Sessions are conversational and grounded.
Christine aims to make complex problems easier to talk about. She helps people name what matters, try small changes, and reflect on progress between meetings. For many people she supports practical coping strategies alongside broader reflection about meaning and life choices.
That balance can help when feelings are intense or when life shifts bring uncertainty. Her aim is to make therapy something people can fit into their everyday life while addressing deeper concerns. Christine invites anyone thinking about therapy to take the first step.
Start by using the site's matching process and schedule a session according to available times. She values a steady, respectful pace and works to create a space where people feel heard and understood.

How Christine works online
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and how people face life changes. It can be useful when someone is wrestling with big decisions, loss, or questions about purpose and identity.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic work. Christine will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then tailor sessions in collaboration with the person. That means trying things, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the way sessions run over time.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, such as using shorter check-ins between commitments or avoiding travel time. It can also allow sessions when someone is in a quieter place or has limited ability to appear on camera. The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking to be sure they match practical needs.
