About Christine
Christine Porter is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, grief, career change and common mental health issues such as stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Christine uses client-centred and solution-focused approaches. She invites clients to identify goals and works collaboratively to reach them. Her way of working emphasises listening, reflection and practical steps clients can try between sessions.
She also pays attention to issues that often accompany relationships and life transitions, including abandonment, family of origin problems, communication difficulties, divorce and separation, and commitment concerns. Christine lists caregiver stress, chronic illness and fertility issues among areas she addresses.
Her background mixes counselling and coaching perspectives, and she describes using techniques that draw on how thoughts influence behaviour. Sessions are organised around what each person wants to get from counselling. Clients and therapist share responsibility for progress and for choosing suitable tools.
Christine asks people to consider whether she feels like a good fit before booking. The focus is on workable steps, clearer thinking and improved day-to-day coping rather than labels or lengthy theoretical explanations.

How her approaches shape online work
Client-centred therapy places the person’s concerns at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows what the client brings so sessions focus on the client’s priorities and experiences. This approach can be helpful for people who want to be heard and understood as they face relationship or life changes.Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and on what helps already. It looks for practical strategies that can be tried between sessions and is useful for stress, anxiety, work issues or when someone wants clearer next steps rather than long theoretical discussion.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with the client to decide which blend of client-centred or solution-focused methods suits their goals, needs and preferences. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses, so methods can change if they are not helpful.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify formats here. In general, online sessions can make it simpler to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use approaches that focus on practical tasks between sessions, making it easier to try new strategies in everyday life.
