Christine Foster supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She also helps with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem and career concerns. Christine works with issues linked to parenting, intimacy, LGBT matters, bipolar mood swings, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Christine uses a person-centred style. She listens first and follows what a person brings to the room. Then she offers interventions that suit each person’s needs.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to build on strengths and make small practical changes that add up. She has 22 years of experience working in the United Kingdom and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background means she has spent many years supporting people through tough transitions and complicated feelings.

In a typical session Christine will encourage straightforward talk about what’s worrying you. She focuses on understanding your experience and helping you find workable ways forward. The approach is calm and respectful, with an emphasis on your own resources and choices.

Taking the first step can feel hard. Christine aims to make the process clear and manageable. She offers different session formats so people can pick what fits their life and energy level.

How Christine's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The counsellor follows your lead, helps you make sense of your feelings and supports you to use your own strengths to move forward. This is helpful for anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and the practical impact of life changes. It encourages honest reflection about values, purpose and how to live with uncertainty, which can be useful for people facing big transitions or questioning their path.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss what feels helpful and adapt methods based on your needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and you will have a say in what is tried and when to change course.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, reflective writing or when a session without video is preferable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
