Christine Porter, BACP

Christine Porter is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people facing anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She brings a warm, approachable manner and focuses on helping clients reconnect with their strengths. Christine lists BACP as her credential and works from the United Kingdom.

She frames therapy as teamwork. Sessions begin by asking what the client wants to change, and she and the client set practical goals together. Christine draws on solution-focused methods to help people notice small shifts that lead to clearer choices and less overwhelm.

Her caseload has included people dealing with stress at work, grief and loss, low self-esteem, communication problems and the strain of caregiving. She also lists ageing and geriatric issues, neurodivergence such as autism and Asperger Syndrome, chronic illness and fertility concerns among areas she attends to.

Sessions aim to build confidence and practical coping skills. Christine says she uses a mix of person-centred counselling and solution-focused work, with ideas from cognitive-behavioural approaches to support changes in thinking and behaviour. She asks clients to be active in the process and shares tools from her experience to help reach agreed goals.

People who value a therapist with a faith background and a straightforward style may find her approach relatable. Her practice is oriented around helping clients find their own solutions and reconnect with what matters to them in day-to-day life.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling and support

Christine uses person-centred counselling to place the client's experience at the heart of sessions. This approach means the counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client's pace, which can help when dealing with low mood, relationship worries or life transitions.

She also uses solution-focused techniques that concentrate on small, practical steps and clear goals. This method is useful for coping with stress, improving communication and building short-term routines that make everyday life easier.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which mix of person-centred and solution-focused work suits their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people access a therapist who understands ageing and caregiver concerns even if they are not local.
