About Christine

Christine Porter is a counsellor who works from a person-centred perspective. She uses Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns. Christine holds BACP and has four years of experience listed for this role. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

Christine keeps things practical in sessions. She asks what a person wants from counselling and then works alongside them towards those goals. She often supports people dealing with grief, career changes, family problems, divorce and separation, as well as chronic illness and caregiver stress. Sessions tend to focus on clear steps and small changes that fit into everyday life.

Her background combines counselling and coaching, with a focus on transformation and empowerment. Christine aims to help people reconnect with their sense of self and rebuild confidence after difficult events. She also works with issues such as abandonment, communication problems, fertility-related distress, and isolation.

In practice she balances listening with practical tools. Her work draws on person-centred ideas that place the client at the centre of the process. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and guide action between sessions.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

How Christine's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the centre of the work. The therapist listens carefully, follows the client's lead and helps them find their own solutions to problems such as anxiety, low self-esteem or relationship stress. Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on small, practical steps and future goals rather than lengthy analysis; it suits people who want clear actions to try between sessions and measurable progress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods to match the client's needs, goals and preferences. Together they identify simple aims and review what is working as therapy progresses.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins in a lunch break, or make it simpler to keep regular appointments while travelling. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to support continuity of care and practical progress without requiring major changes to daily routines.
