About Christine Gooddy
She speaks from personal experience of living with depression, which informs her empathy and practical understanding of the recovery process. Much of her clinical focus has been on trauma and the emotional difficulties that follow, and she has completed additional training to deepen her understanding of how mind and body interact to shape responses to stress and adversity.
Christine emphasizes the mutual sense of connection between client and therapist as a foundation for effective therapy. She describes herself as calm and compassionate and draws on strategies she has used in her own life to manage an inner critic and cope with life’s challenges. Her years supporting survivors have reinforced that there is no single solution that fits everyone, so she adapts methods to suit each person’s preferences and goals. Christine is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. If someone wishes to work with her, she invites them to get in touch.

Approaches that shape online therapy
Christine works from a person-centred foundation, which focuses on listening with empathy, respecting the client’s experience, and creating a supportive space where individuals can explore their values and choices. This approach is useful for people seeking a collaborative, non-directive way to work through emotional pain and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, and patterns that get in the way of day-to-day functioning by offering practical strategies and structured exercises.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and responding to the effects of traumatic experiences, helping clients process difficult memories and develop coping skills for managing symptoms and improving emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Christine works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as work progresses.
Online therapy with Christine is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and accessibility for those balancing work, caregiving, or other commitments. These options allow clients to engage in consistent therapy from their own setting while working with a registered professional to make meaningful changes.
