About Christine
Christine Burcham is a BACP counsellor with five years of practice listed and a background in social care and NHS settings. She works with concerns such as anxiety, stress, low confidence and relationship difficulties, and also lists many related areas including trauma, grief and depression.
Christine uses an integrative humanist approach, drawing on different methods to suit each person's needs. She asks questions, listens to what matters to the individual, and helps people untangle thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as on understanding patterns that keep difficulties repeating.
In conversation she helps people notice what gets in the way of everyday life. That can mean looking at unhelpful thinking, exploring attachment and relationship patterns, or practising new ways of responding to stressful situations. The aim is to find steps that feel manageable and realistic for daily life.
Her background includes work across social care and the NHS, supporting people with mental health and emotional difficulties. That experience informs how she approaches issues such as trauma, bereavement, addiction and mood problems.
People who work with her can expect a respectful, person-focused way of working. The focus is on clear discussion, checking practical goals, and adjusting approaches as needed so sessions remain useful and relevant.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Christine commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in her practice. ACT focuses on identifying what matters to the individual and committing to actions that align with those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck on them. CBT looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss different methods with the client and decide together which fits the person's goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means sessions can shift toward more practical skills or deeper relational themes as needed.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when a full in-person appointment is harder to arrange. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises and homework so they work well in a remote setting and across everyday routines.
