Christine Foster , BACP

Christine Foster is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings over 21 years of professional experience in the UK. She practices in a person-centred way, tuning into what each person brings to a session and drawing on other techniques when they are likely to help. Her approach emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration while remaining flexible to meet the evolving needs of each client.

Her experience includes supporting people with depression, stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and coping with grief and loss. She helps clients identify their strengths and build on the resources they already possess, working from the belief that individuals are the experts in their own stories. Christine acknowledges that starting therapy often takes courage and she frames the early steps as opportunities to prioritise wellbeing and begin making meaningful changes.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people explore their own perspectives. In practice this means the therapist creates space for clients to express themselves, identify strengths, and make choices that feel right for their lives - an approach often helpful for stress, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and many everyday struggles.

Existential Therapy invites exploration of meaning, values, and personal choice. It can support people working through grief, life transitions, career questions, or feelings about identity by encouraging reflection on what matters and how to live with greater authenticity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Christine will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include adapting techniques over time as circumstances change.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from different locations. These formats provide flexibility in scheduling, allow different ways of communicating to suit individual comfort levels, and can help maintain continuity of care between sessions.
