About Christine
Christine Asikuru offers calm, practical support for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed or uncertain. She introduces simple ways to name difficult feelings and to spot patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions are intended to be warm and non-judgemental, with a clear focus on small, doable steps that improve day-to-day coping.
Christine trained in counselling and holds a BA (Hons) in Counselling and a BACP membership. She also completed a foundation diploma at level 5 in counselling and psychotherapy and earlier certificated counselling skills at level 2.
How Christine works
Her background includes several years working in educational settings where she provided one-to-one and group work with students and parents. In practice she draws on person-centred ideas and brings in cognitive and behavioural tools when they help. That means conversations focus on what matters to the person in front of her and on techniques that change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Mindfulness and emotionally-focused ideas are also used to help people notice and manage strong emotions. Sessions may include exploring family or relationship patterns, managing anxiety and stress, working on self-esteem, and practical steps for coping with life changes. Christine pays attention to the effects of trauma, grief and compassion fatigue and offers support around eating and body image concerns where relevant.
People can expect a collaborative process where goals are created together. Work might include short-term practical goals or longer conversations about attachment, abandonment or career decisions. Christine accepts international clients and provides sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

How these approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and when life feels stuck because it focuses on workable steps rather than perfect feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with low mood, worry and predictable daily struggles. Client-centred therapy places a strong emphasis on empathy and respect, giving people space to explore feelings at their own pace while the counsellor follows and reflects what matters most to them.Finding the right approach is usually a process rather than a single decision. Christine discusses goals and preferences with each person and suggests which methods to try first. The plan is reviewed together and adjusted as the work progresses so the approach matches the person's needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give choice and flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when tone and eye contact matter. Phone sessions can be a good fit when someone needs a lower-bandwidth option or wants a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let people reflect in writing and fit sessions around work, study or caring duties. These formats aim to make it easier to attend therapy from different locations and schedules while keeping the therapeutic focus intact.
