About Christine
Christine Foster helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and loss. She is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and brings 22 years of experience to her work. Christine writes simply and directly in sessions and aims to make the first steps easier for someone who is worried or unsure.
She uses a person-centred style that starts with what the client brings to the room.
How Christine works
That means listening closely and following the pace the client sets. She also draws on other ideas when they suit the person’s needs and goals. In practice Christine talks through issues such as depression, grief, addiction and sleep or eating difficulties.
She also supports people dealing with identity and intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress, anger and career pressures. Clients who face compassion fatigue, ADHD or bipolar-related challenges can explore coping strategies together. Sessions aim to identify small, practical steps the person can try between meetings.
Christine encourages clients to notice strengths and resources they already have. Therapy is presented as a collaborative process rather than a list of techniques. She works with people from across the United Kingdom and internationally in English.
Christine welcomes the courage it takes to begin and guides each person through the practical next steps to set up sessions.

How Christine's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space where the person’s own priorities lead the work. It is useful for anxiety, depression and difficulties where someone needs support to make sense of their experience.Existential Therapy helps people consider meaning, choice and responsibility in their life. It can be helpful when someone faces big life changes, career questions, grief or doubts about identity and direction.
Choosing the right way to work is part of the process. Christine will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and agree a collaborative plan. She aims to match the approach to what the client needs rather than imposing a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls suit a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in and text messaging allows ongoing written reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family commitments and to choose a format that feels most comfortable.
