Therapeutic approaches and online support
Christine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice unhelpful thought patterns, clarify what matters to them and take value-driven action. ACT can be useful for people managing anxiety, stress, depression and life transitions.She also practices Client-Centered Therapy, an approach that prioritises empathic listening and the client’s own capacity for growth; this method can support challenges such as low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and grief by promoting greater self-understanding.
In addition, Christine draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies for behavior change, which can be helpful for anxiety, mood concerns and coping with everyday stressors.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christine works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the work as those needs evolve. Registered professionals often combine elements from different approaches to create a personalised plan.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone, plus options for live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit support around work, family and other commitments. These formats increase accessibility for people who are travelling, living abroad or preferring remote contact, while allowing therapists to maintain continuity of care across different circumstances.
