Christine Burcham , BACP

Christine Burcham is a qualified therapist registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and practises with an integrative, humanist orientation that adapts to each person's needs. She works with issues such as anxiety, stress, low confidence, relationship difficulties, trauma, grief, and self-esteem concerns, helping people who may appear coping on the outside while struggling privately. Christine believes clients are the experts on their own lives and offers a collaborative space to make sense of difficult thoughts and feelings and to identify practical ways forward.

In sessions she draws on a range of approaches to tailor support to the individual, exploring patterns, emotions, and goals so clients can feel calmer, stronger, and more able to manage change. Christine has five years of experience as a therapist and has also worked within social care and the NHS supporting people of different ages and backgrounds with mental health and emotional challenges. She aims to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where people can stop carrying things alone and begin to build skills and perspectives that suit their lives.

Integrative approaches for online therapy and connection

Christine combines several therapeutic methods to suit individual needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying values and taking meaningful action - it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck from unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and behaviours and can be beneficial for relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, and challenges related to abandonment or attachment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and the client's own capacity for growth, offering a nonjudgmental space to explore self-esteem, grief, and life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christine works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals when appropriate to identify which methods best fit a person's goals, preferences, and circumstances, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for people juggling work, family, or mobility limits. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and fit therapy into a busy life while connecting with a therapist who can tailor the work to each client's concerns.
