About Christine
Christine Gooddy is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years' experience working with adult survivors of historic abuse and a wide variety of other clients. She works with people who are coping with trauma, grief, depression, relationship strains, family matters and anger. She also supports issues around self-esteem, career changes and compassion fatigue.
She trained in Person-Centred counselling and now takes a more integrative approach. That means she keeps the client at the centre while drawing on different methods to suit the person in front of her. Christine speaks from personal experience of depression and uses practical strategies she has found helpful herself.
Much of her caseload has involved trauma and the emotional effects that follow. She has pursued additional training to understand how the mind and body interact and why people respond the ways they do. This informs the techniques she offers in sessions.
Her work combines person-centred listening with approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused methods. She also uses elements of the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are part of the presenting concerns. The emphasis is on clear, achievable steps rather than jargon.
Sessions focus on building a working connection between counsellor and client. Christine aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try new coping strategies and reduce the power of a strong inner critic. If someone wants to begin, they use the site matching process to arrange an initial session.
How Christine uses approaches in online work
Christine uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the person and their experience central. That means listening without imposing a set plan and helping people describe what matters most to them and how they want to change.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT is practical and helps with unhelpful thinking, low mood and anger by testing ideas and trying different behaviours.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try, adjust what isn’t helping and focus on what matches the client's goals and preferences.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not explicitly list them. Online sessions can make therapy fit around work, caregiving or travel - for example shorter check-ins during a break or sessions that don't require video. Those practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent and manageable alongside everyday life.
