About Christine

Christine Foster works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions and related concerns. She uses a client-centred approach, drawing on existential ideas when helpful, and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has 22 years of professional experience in the UK.

Christine listens to what each person brings and bases sessions on their concerns and strengths. She focuses on clear, practical conversation about feelings, behaviour and relationships. Sessions aim to make sense of what is happening now and find manageable steps forward.

Her work includes supporting people with difficulties around intimacy, self-esteem, sleep and eating, as well as parenting strain, career questions and compassion fatigue. She also offers support for people dealing with bipolar-related challenges and ADHD-related concerns. These topics are discussed in straightforward language and with attention to what the person wants to change.

Christine says she treats the person as the expert on their story and draws on their existing strengths. She may introduce other techniques where these could help, but the focus remains on the person’s priorities and choices. Practical coping strategies and reflective discussion are used alongside wider life themes.

To begin, patients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial session through the service.

How her client-centred and existential approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and priorities. The counsellor listens without directing the story and supports the client to find their own solutions; this can help with anxiety, depression and relationship concerns.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and how people face major life questions. It can be useful for grief, coping with life changes and issues around identity or purpose.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss the client’s goals and preferences and suggest which methods might suit best. The plan can be reviewed as work progresses so adjustments can be made together.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer the same conversational and reflective work online as in face-to-face sessions, with practical benefits for people balancing work, family or study commitments.
