About Christine
Christine Burcham is a BACP counsellor who uses an integrative humanist approach. She draws on different therapies to suit each person's needs. She aims to make sessions a calm place to talk without pretending.
Christine keeps language plain and practical so parents and carers can follow along easily. She often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and name strong emotions. She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to help with relationships and how childhood patterns affect adult life.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred ways of working are woven in depending on what someone needs. Christine has five years of clinical counselling experience alongside previous work in social care and the NHS. That background involved supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and self-esteem concerns.
She also has experience with addiction, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and the emotional impact of illness and caregiving. In sessions she helps people talk through immediate problems and build small practical steps they can try between meetings. Work might focus on coping with major life changes, reducing stress, managing difficult thoughts or improving communication.
She pays attention to attachment issues, abandonment concerns and body image when these are relevant. Sessions are conducted in English and offered online by phone, video, live chat or messaging. Christine works from the United Kingdom and does not take international clients.
The subscription model for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Christine commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name strong emotions that drive behaviour. EFT can be useful when the aim is to understand emotional patterns and improve how people relate to themselves and others.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which encourages noticing thoughts without being led by them and committing to actions that match personal values. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and intimacy-related issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist consults with each person about their goals and preferences, then blends approaches that feel most helpful. This is a collaborative process and may change as needs shift.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling flexible. Video suits deeper conversations when you prefer face-to-face contact. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family, work and other commitments.
