About Christine

Christine Foster helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationships and loss. She works with issues such as depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, and questions about identity and intimacy. Christine uses a straightforward, warm approach designed to put people at ease from the first contact.

She practises in a person-centred way, which means sessions begin with what the client brings and follow their pace. Christine may draw on other therapeutic ideas when they seem helpful, adapting to each person's needs rather than using a single fixed method. This makes sessions practical and focused on what matters most to the client.

With more than 20 years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP, she is familiar with a wide range of life challenges. Christine encourages people to recognise their own strengths and to use them when facing difficult emotions or changes.

Her style is calm and respectful, aiming to create a space where people can talk honestly and work through painful topics. She speaks English and accepts clients from outside the UK, so international clients can enquire about working together.

To begin, visitors select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that suits them. Christine invites people to take that first step and will work alongside them as they move forward.

How Christine's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach suits people who want a collaborative, paced space to make sense of stress, relationship worries or parenting strain.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, values and choices in life. It helps when people face big questions after loss, career change, or when feeling stuck with identity or purpose. The focus is on understanding what matters and choosing how to move forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will explore goals and preferences with each person and agree together which methods to try. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or family life, and avoiding travel time. Online work can also allow a quieter check-in by phone if that is preferred, or video if visual connection is helpful. Confirm the current session options before booking so the format fits your day-to-day needs.
