About Christine
Christine Porter is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses a person-centred and solution-focused style. She presents a warm, approachable manner and asks clients what they want from counselling before setting goals together. Christine holds BACP credentials and draws on four years of recent practice experience.
Her work is practical and collaborative. She encourages clients to notice how thoughts shape actions and looks for small, useful steps that move things forward.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her and on building confidence after difficult events. Christine helps people talk through relationship difficulties, grief, stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports those coping with life changes, career concerns, anger and struggles with self-esteem.
Additional areas she attends to include abandonment, ageing and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, fertility matters and family of origin difficulties. Her style blends gentle listening with practical tools drawn from client-centred and solution-focused work. She asks direct questions about what will make a difference and seeks small, achievable goals.
The emphasis is on collaboration and on the person’s own resources. Christine’s practice suits people who want a counsellor who combines empathy with clear steps for change. She works in English and is open to international clients.

How Christine works online
She also uses solution-focused therapy, which looks for small, practical steps that lead to change. That model suits people who want short-term, goal-orientated work such as improving communication, managing stress or tackling a specific problem.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences and what has helped you before, then recommend ways of working that fit your needs. The plan can change as therapy progresses and the focus may shift towards longer or shorter term work depending on what helps.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy days and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to maintain regular appointments around work or caring responsibilities and to access a therapist from a different location. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to know how sessions will be arranged.
