About Christine

Christine Porter works on relationship problems, grief, stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes using person-centred and solution-focused methods. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

Christine uses a person-centred approach which keeps the client at the centre of the work. She asks what people want from counselling and she and the client agree steps to move forward. She also uses solution-focused techniques to identify practical changes and small goals that make daily life easier.

Her background includes work with issues around family and relationships, bereavement, career change, anger, and long-term stress. She has supported people with chronic pain or long-term illness, caregiver stress, fertility and ageing concerns, and those who identify as autistic or with Asperger syndrome. She also addresses abandonment, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Sessions are collaborative and aim to help people notice changes in thinking and behaviour. Christine describes counselling as teamwork and draws on a range of tools to find what helps each person. She works with people who are motivated to make changes and with whom she feels she can form an effective working relationship.

Her practice emphasises practical steps alongside reflective listening. People can expect clear discussion of goals, short-term strategies from solution-focused work, and ongoing person-centred support to explore self-esteem, coping and relationships.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Christine uses person-centred counselling which focuses on the person in front of her and their priorities. This approach involves listening, reflecting and helping people make sense of their feelings so they can decide what matters most to change.

She also uses solution-focused techniques that concentrate on small, practical steps and clear goals. This can be helpful for relationship difficulties, managing stress, and coping with life changes by identifying what is already working and building on it.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss your goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative selection helps shape sessions and the tools used between meetings.
