About Christine

Christine Foster is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 22 years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and family strains, ADHD, bipolar and career-related issues.

She uses a client-centred way of working. That means she starts from what a person brings to the session and follows their priorities. She also draws on existential thinking when questions about meaning, values or life direction come up.

In practice sessions are straightforward and conversational. Christine listens to what feels most pressing, helps clarify goals, and uses talking, reflection and practical techniques relevant to the issue. Sessions often focus on coping strategies, problem-solving and making sense of difficult experiences.

Clients can expect support for immediate concerns like panic or sleeplessness as well as longer-term struggles such as trauma, grief or relationship breakdown. Christine aims to work collaboratively so people can identify steps they want to try between sessions.

To begin, people complete an initial matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Christine notes that the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and session costs vary with location.

How her approaches inform online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. In practice this looks like sessions led by the client’s concerns, with the counsellor reflecting what is said and helping clarify next steps. It is useful for immediate problems such as anxiety, stress, sleep difficulties and low mood.

Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and values. It helps when people are facing big life changes, identity questions or feelings of emptiness. Conversations may centre on what matters to the person and how they want to live going forward.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Christine will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as issues evolve.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make fitting sessions into daily life easier, such as shorter check-ins during a work break or meetings from a quieter place without travel. It can also allow people to access a counsellor in a different region or country. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt conversational and practical techniques to remote sessions to address coping skills, relationship concerns and meaning-focused work.
