About Christine
Christine Burcham uses an integrative, humanist approach to counselling that draws on several evidence-informed methods to meet each person's needs. She is BACP registered and frames sessions around the individual's own goals and values. Christine writes short, direct sentences and listens for what matters most to the person in front of her.
Many people come with anxiety, stress or low confidence and are keeping a lot inside. Christine helps people talk through those feelings and make sense of their reactions.
How Christine works
She also supports those dealing with loss, relationship strain, trauma, addiction or changes at work and home. Sessions focus on practical steps and on the things a client values. Christine uses techniques from cognitive behavioural work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed ideas to help people try new ways of coping.
She aims to help people feel steadier and clearer about what to do next. Her approach is collaborative. Christine encourages the person to set the pace and pick the focus for each session.
Conversations cover thoughts, emotions and behaviour, and often include exercises to practise between meetings. Christine has five years' experience as a practising counsellor and holds BACP registration. She works with adults on a wide range of issues including mood problems, trauma, grief, parenting stress, eating and sleeping concerns, and identity-related matters.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online in a range of formats.

Online support options
How Christine's approaches work online
Christine commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioural techniques alongside attachment-informed thinking. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive behavioural work looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical steps to reduce unhelpful cycles, often used for worry, sleep or mood problems.Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. Christine will discuss options with each person and tailor methods to their goals, preferences and life situation. Together they decide which techniques to try and how to adapt them for online sessions.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and text messaging allows ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life while still using evidence-informed approaches and collaborative planning.
