About Christiane
Christiane Alfred is a counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and has three years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people aged 16 and above. Her main areas include stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes.
Christiane uses Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy in her work. Sessions focus on what a person is experiencing now and on patterns that may have developed over time. She aims to help people talk through relationship and career worries, manage anger, and find clearer priorities when life feels confusing.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She listens for what matters to each client and uses methods that help people notice unhelpful thinking, practice different responses, and reflect on past experiences that still affect them. Conversations are paced to the individual and may include practical exercises between sessions.
Christiane has specific experience with adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties, body image and caregiver stress. She also works with people dealing with isolation, jealousy, commitment concerns and questions about life purpose. That background informs how she frames discussions about family of origin and fatherhood issues.
Sessions are offered in English and Shona. International clients are accepted. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How her approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room and on their current concerns. It involves listening, reflecting what the client says, and helping people clarify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses practical techniques to test and change unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviours that reduce anxiety or low mood.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Christiane will discuss what feels most useful for the client's problems, goals and preferences. That discussion is collaborative and can change as the relationship develops and priorities shift.
The biography does not state which session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day. It also makes access possible for people outside the therapist's immediate area. Registered or accredited professionals like Christiane aim to adapt exercises, homework and conversational techniques so they work in a remote setting and in line with each person's needs.
