Christine Burcham, BACP

Christine Burcham is a BACP counsellor who works in an integrative, humanist way. She draws on different approaches to meet each person's needs and focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious or facing relationship and intimacy-related concerns.

She makes therapy a straightforward space to talk without judgement. Christine helps people name what feels hard, whether that is low confidence, grief, addiction struggles or living with mood swings. Sessions aim to help people feel steadier and more able to cope with day-to-day life.

Her practice is informed by a mix of evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioural methods, attachment-focused work and emotion-focused ideas. This lets her adapt the session to what the individual is trying to achieve and how they prefer to work.

Christine brings five years of direct counselling experience alongside many more years supporting people in social care and the NHS. That background has included supporting people with trauma, bereavement, eating and sleeping difficulties, chronic illness and neurodiversity-related concerns.

She usually works in short, manageable steps so progress can be tracked. Christine encourages practical experiments between sessions, simple skills to reduce overwhelm, and clearer communication strategies for relationship problems. People who want to try therapy are invited to consider what feels most useful to them before booking.

Sessions are conducted in English and based in the United Kingdom. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session formats and scheduling details before they book.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and decisions that feel blocked. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and aims to create new ways of connecting and feeling safe in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they will try methods that suit the person's pace and needs and adjust as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy day and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments during work breaks or when life is hectic. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current options before booking so you know what to expect. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors working online, often use the same clinical techniques as face-to-face sessions and adapt exercises, communication practice and between-session tasks to the online setting.
