Christine Burcham , BACP

Christine Burcham is a qualified, BACP-registered integrative humanist therapist who adapts her approach to suit each client's individual needs. She draws on a range of therapeutic methods rather than following a single model, working collaboratively to help people navigate anxiety, stress, low confidence and relationship difficulties. Christine emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental working relationship in which the client remains the expert on their own life while the therapist offers guidance, tools and reflective support.

Therapy with Christine focuses on exploring thoughts and feelings, making sense of difficult experiences and finding practical steps that help clients feel calmer, stronger and more able to manage day-to-day challenges. She works with people across a broad spectrum of concerns including trauma, grief, self-esteem issues and life transitions, tailoring techniques to the issues presented and the client’s preferences. Christine also brings experience of working within social care and the NHS, supporting people of all ages and diverse backgrounds. As a BACP-registered practitioner, she follows standards set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy while offering a compassionate, person-focused approach to care.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It supports work with anxiety, stress and life transitions by building psychological flexibility and practical coping strategies.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships that develop from early life and current connections. It is useful for addressing relationship difficulties, attachment issues and the emotional effects of loss or abandonment by focusing on improving connection and emotional understanding.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and promotes self-directed growth through empathic listening and nonjudgmental support. This approach can help with low confidence, self-esteem and navigating major life changes by fostering greater self-awareness and self-acceptance.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be decided collaboratively. Christine works with clients to identify which methods best match their goals, needs and preferences, and adapts techniques over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals and therapists through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity between sessions and choose the format that feels most comfortable and practical for the individual.
