About Christine
Christine Burcham is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience in a counselling role. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, addictions and issues linked to identity and intimacy, including LGBT concerns and parenting strains.
She describes herself as an integrative humanist therapist who draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. Sessions focus on talking through what is happening, naming feelings, and finding practical ways to manage day-to-day strain. Conversations are straightforward and aim to help people feel steadier and more able to cope.
Her background includes long experience in social care and NHS settings before moving into counselling practice. That work involved supporting people with mental health and emotional difficulties across a range of challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and life changes. Those roles informed how she structures sessions and the kinds of techniques she offers.
In practice she uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). She works with both everyday worries and more complex issues like dissociation, domestic violence, caregiving stress and chronic illness.
People often come to talk about shame or guilt linked to relationships, parenting, past events or identity. Christine helps them look at thoughts and patterns, try different ways of responding, and build small, achievable steps toward feeling more in control.
How Christine’s approaches fit with online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and focuses on values-based action that can reduce the hold of guilt or shame. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and offers straightforward tools to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods together to see what fits best for the client's needs, goals and ways of coping. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress or new issues emerge.
The original biography does not list specific remote session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that is not wanted. Registered and accredited professionals can offer structured therapeutic tools and conversation online in ways that let people practise new responses between sessions.
