Christine Gooddy, BACP

Christine Gooddy is a BACP counsellor with 13 years' experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults who have experienced trauma and abuse, and with people facing depression, grief, relationship strains, family issues, anger, low self-esteem and life changes. Her practice also addresses caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and other related concerns.

She trained in Person-Centred counselling, and uses that as the foundation of her work. Christine adapts her approach to each person, blending methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy and relationship work influenced by the Gottman Method. Sessions focus on practical strategies and understanding how thoughts, feelings and the body interact.

Christine draws on lived experience of depression to inform how she supports people finding their way forward. She often helps clients identify unhelpful self‑critical thoughts and learn healthier coping responses. Her work with survivors of historic abuse includes both group and one-to-one support, and she has spent much of her career in these settings.

In sessions she emphasises the therapeutic connection and clear, concrete tools rather than theory alone. That might mean practising new responses to anger, developing skills to manage overwhelming emotions, or planning small changes to daily routines. Clients can expect straightforward conversations and practical steps they can try between meetings.
