Christine Gerstenberger is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses collaborative, practical approaches to support people through stress, anxiety and low mood. She holds BACP accreditation and brings five years of experience to each session. Her manner is calm and respectful, and she aims to make the first step feel manageable.

She blends approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with client-centred listening. That means sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on small, doable changes they can try between meetings.

Background and approach

Christine helps people work through grief, relationship worries, sleep or eating issues, and shifts in mood including bipolar and seasonal patterns. Sessions also look at day-to-day struggles like anger, procrastination and career stress. Christine supports people exploring identity, life purpose, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.

She pays attention to attachment and communication patterns that affect how people relate to others. Her work includes practical skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and mindfulness exercises to manage panic, obsessions or compulsions, and dissociative moments. She adapts techniques to suit each person’s pace and preferences rather than following a fixed formula.

Christine offers therapy by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck and then take steps towards a life that fits their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and feeling overwhelmed. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to reduce panic, phobias and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person's experience and uses empathic listening to build understanding and self-direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss options and help decide what fits the person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods can be combined or adjusted over time to suit how someone responds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing written work between sessions. These formats offer flexibility and make it simpler to keep continuity of care when schedules or locations change.
