About Christine
Christine Porter uses a warm, person-centred way of working to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. Christine focuses on practical steps while listening carefully to what matters most to each person.
Her sessions aim to put the client at the centre and build trust from the first meeting. She draws on solution-focused techniques to help people set small, realistic goals.
How Christine works
Conversations are straightforward and geared towards outcomes that clients can use between sessions. Christine has experience supporting people through bereavement and life changes, and she helps with work-related stress and career concerns. She also works with issues such as low self-esteem, anger, communication problems and the strains that come from long-term illness or caregiving.
People who struggle with isolation, family-of-origin problems, abandonment or fertility-related distress will find a practical, steady approach. Christine also has experience with autism and additional learning needs and adapts her style to each person’s pace and preferences. Her style is collaborative: she asks what the client wants from counselling and they work together toward those aims.
Sessions may include talking, goal-setting and simple tools to practise between appointments. The emphasis is on clear steps and building confidence over time.

How client-centred and solution-focused therapy work online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens without judgement and reflects what matters to the client, helping them to find their own answers and rebuild confidence.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and clear goals. This approach looks for what is already working and builds on those strengths to produce change more quickly for issues like stress, low mood or relationship problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how someone likes to work, then tailor sessions so they fit the person’s needs. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy brings practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls let sessions feel close to face-to-face meetings, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messages suit short check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, care duties and other commitments, while keeping a steady course of support.
