About Christine
Christine Porter is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. She works with relationship strain, grief, stress, anxiety, depression and anger. She also helps people coping with career changes, self-esteem struggles and life transitions.
She describes therapy as collaborative work. Christine asks what a person wants from counselling and then works with them toward those goals. She uses a person-centred stance that keeps the client’s experience as the focus, while drawing on practical tools to support change.
Her approach blends Client-Centred Therapy with Solution-Focused Therapy and draws on cognitive ideas about how thinking influences action. Sessions involve talking through current problems, trying short, focused strategies, and checking what helps in everyday life. The emphasis is on usable steps rather than abstract theory.
Christine has worked with issues such as communication problems, commitment worries, divorce and separation, and family of origin difficulties. She also supports people facing chronic illness, ageing concerns, fertility challenges, and caregiver stress. She lists assistance for people dealing with feelings of emptiness, guilt or shame, and isolation.
She notes experience with autism and additional learning needs and with people whose faith matters to them. Christine expects clients to be engaged in their own development and aims to match with those she feels she can help. To begin, she asks people to explain what they want and to be prepared to work toward practical goals.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the centre. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps people clarify what matters to them. This approach can help with issues like low self-esteem, relationship strain and feeling overwhelmed.Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical next steps and small experiments. It focuses on what changes would look like and on building on what already works. This approach suits people who want short-term strategies for stress, anger, or coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christine works with clients to agree which methods to try, based on their needs, goals and preferences. She sees therapy as a collaboration where methods are adjusted as progress is reviewed.
If you plan to use online sessions, check the available formats before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged. Many people find remote work fits around busy days and lets them keep momentum between sessions. It can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, to schedule sessions during a lunch break, or to avoid travel time. Confirm the exact session options when you arrange the first appointment so they suit your routine and goals.
