About Christiane
Christiane Alfred is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of counselling and psychotherapy experience. She works with adults and people aged 16 and over on common day-to-day struggles such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps with relationship and parenting concerns and supports people who want to manage anger more effectively.
Christiane keeps sessions straightforward. She listens to what is happening now and asks practical questions about how anger and frustration show up in daily life. She helps clients notice patterns, try small changes and reflect on what works. Conversations are focused on clear steps rather than abstract theory.
Her approach draws on client-centred work to follow the person’s concerns, cognitive behavioural ideas to test thoughts and behaviours, and psychodynamic thinking to look at longer-standing patterns. That mix lets her address both immediate problems and deeper triggers that repeat over time.
Christiane has worked with people facing family problems, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress and role changes such as fatherhood. She also supports work on body image, commitment and communication difficulties, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.
Sessions are offered in English and Shona, and she accepts international clients. Practical matters such as fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-centred work focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves open listening and reflecting the client’s concerns back so they can clarify feelings and priorities. This approach helps when anger feels confusing or hard to put into words.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It uses practical exercises and small behaviour changes to reduce anger triggers and build different responses. CBT is useful for managing workplace frustration and day-to-day outbursts.
Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to recurring patterns and early relationships that shape how someone reacts now. This can be useful when anger repeats in similar situations or ties back to family of origin issues.
Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, try out methods and adjust based on what helps. That way the work stays focused on practical change and what the client wants to achieve.
The exact session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt conversational, reflective and practical exercises to work over distance while helping clients manage anger in everyday life.
