Christine Porter works from a client-centred approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and major life changes. She uses solution-focused techniques alongside a person-centred stance to help people clarify goals and take practical steps. Christine holds BACP accreditation and practises in the United Kingdom.

She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Christine brings four years of recent experience to her counselling. She focuses on relationship strain, grief, career transitions and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with family-of-origin issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Her work often addresses emotional responses such as anger, depression, guilt and shame. Christine also helps with long-term challenges including chronic illness, caregiver stress, fertility worries and ageing concerns.

Her practice includes attention to autism and additional learning needs when relevant to the person’s goals. Sessions are collaborative. Christine asks what a person hopes to change and uses short-term, practical techniques alongside deeper listening.

She draws on solution-focused tools to set manageable steps and person-centred ways of relating to validate experience and build trust. People can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How client-centred and solution-focused work online can help

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects back what is important and helps people reconnect with their own strengths and values. This approach is helpful for long-standing worries, building self-esteem and processing grief.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes. It helps people set clear goals, identify what is already working and try concrete steps between sessions. This style suits people who want focused, short-term progress on issues like stress, communication problems or coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and then tailor a mix of approaches. That way the plan fits the individual rather than the other way around.

Online sessions make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer flexible, written options for ongoing support between sessions. These formats help people access regular support from therapists and registered or accredited professionals across different locations.
