About Christine
Christine Porter is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with adults on concerns such as relationship problems, grief, career strain, stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression.
Christine uses a person-centred approach that keeps the person in the middle of sessions. She asks what someone wants from counselling and then works together to reach practical goals. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to help clients identify small, useful steps that can change daily life.
Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Christine describes therapy as teamwork - she brings a range of tools and the client helps decide which ones to try. That includes talking through communication problems, boundary difficulties and workplace stress, or practical steps to manage mounting frustration and anger.
She also supports people facing family-of-origin issues, divorce and separation, abandonment and the strain of caregiving. Christine has experience with chronic illness, fertility issues and challenges linked to neurodivergence such as autism and Asperger Syndrome.
Christine welcomes clients who are ready to commit to their own development and who want a counsellor they can trust. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to see if the working relationship feels like a good fit.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Christine uses person-centred counselling and solution-focused therapy in online work. Person-centred counselling means the client sets the pace and topics while the counsellor listens and reflects to help the client find clarity. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, grief and low self-esteem where exploring feelings matters.Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical changes and clear goals. Sessions look for exceptions to problems and build on existing strengths, which can help with stress, workplace frustration and managing anger in everyday life.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. Christine will talk with clients about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working. That decision is collaborative and may adapt over time as the client sees what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from the equation. Registered or accredited professionals can use the same approaches online as in person, while adapting exercises and tools to suit a virtual setting.
