About Christine
Christine Fleming works on stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She uses client-centred discussion alongside practical techniques to help people manage symptoms and make decisions. She is a registrant member of The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society and has three years of professional experience.
Christine offers short, clear sessions where the person is listened to and helped to make sense of difficult feelings. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on mindfulness exercises to reduce overwhelm. Hypnotherapy and psychodynamic ideas may be used to access deeper emotions when appropriate.
Her background includes work with volunteers and clients at two different counselling charities. That practical experience covered both in-person and online meetings and included people coping with pregnancy or infant loss. Christine has carried out a range of therapeutic conversations in those settings.
In sessions she helps people explore what matters to them and identify small, doable steps. She explains techniques clearly and practises them together with clients during meetings. The focus is on manageable change rather than lengthy theory.
Sessions are conducted in English and Christine works within the standards of her professional body. Before booking, clients should confirm the current session formats offered through the service. To begin, use the site matching process and schedule a first session.
How Christine uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says so they feel heard and can find their own solutions; it is useful for people facing life changes or low self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss different methods with each person and decide together which techniques to try based on goals and preferences. This collaborative process means approaches can be adapted over time if they are not helpful.
Please confirm the session formats available before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy schedule, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or reducing the need to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use these practical benefits to help clients keep therapy consistent alongside everyday life.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
