Christine Burcham, BACP

Christine Burcham is a counsellor who works in an integrative, humanist way and uses different approaches to fit each person. She is BACP registered and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. Christine aims to create a calm space where people can talk honestly about what feels hard to handle.

She listens to what matters most to the person in front of her and then draws on tools from several therapies. Sessions often look at thoughts and behaviour, how relationships influence feelings, and ways to notice and respond to painful emotions. Christine uses clear, practical steps alongside conversation to help someone feel steadier day to day.

Christine has five years of direct counselling experience and a longer background working in social care and health services. That background informs how she responds to grief, trauma, chronic illness and caregiving stress. She also supports people with issues such as addiction, body image, eating and sleeping problems, and challenges linked to neurodiversity.

Her approach is collaborative - she and the client decide what to try and when to change course. Sessions aim to build small, sustainable shifts rather than quick fixes. People often leave with new ways to cope that fit their lives and values.

Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom. Before booking, clients are encouraged to check current session options and scheduling details using the Start Therapy button.

How Christine's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed and then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past and current relationships shape emotional responses and helps people build different ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt the plan as needed, so the process stays collaborative and tailored.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking as current formats are listed at the time of scheduling. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow a focus on short practical exercises or deeper emotional processing depending on need. Many people use online sessions for ongoing coaching around health challenges, managing grief, or getting help with anxiety while balancing other commitments.
