About Christine
Christine Foster is a counsellor with more than two decades of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression and grief. She works in a person-centred way, listening first to what a person brings and helping them find their own strengths. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood.
With 22 years of practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she draws on Client-Centred Therapy as a core approach. She also uses ideas from existential therapy to help people reflect on meaning and personal choice. Christine adapts what happens in sessions to each person rather than applying a fixed formula.
Sessions typically focus on everyday problems and on practical ways to cope. She helps people manage low mood, panic, ongoing worry, and the fallout from difficult relationships or past events. She also works with issues such as sleep or eating difficulties, parenting strain, workplace stress and compassion fatigue.
Her aim is to support people to notice their own resources and to make small, manageable changes. She treats the person sitting in front of her as the expert in their life and offers a listening, non-judgemental space. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges that courage.
Please confirm current session formats before booking so arrangements match your needs. Christine accepts clients from outside the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
How Christine’s approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the counsellor. The counsellor offers empathic understanding and follows your pace so you can explore what matters most to you. This approach can help with low mood, anxiety and relationship issues by strengthening your sense of agency and self-understanding.Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. It can help when people feel stuck, overwhelmed by life changes, or unsure about next steps. Working this way encourages reflection on values and how to make decisions that fit your life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will talk with you about your goals and preferences and will help decide which of these styles or other techniques fit best. The process is collaborative and can change over time as your needs evolve.
