About Christine
Counsellor Christine Fleming is a BACP-registered practitioner based in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on communication problems and women's issues among other concerns.
Christine keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens without judgement and helps people talk through what is worrying them. She offers a space to name difficult feelings and to look at what might help next.
Her work draws on client-centred methods, which place the person's experience at the heart of the session. She also uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy are used when people need help with emotional regulation and coping skills.
Sessions typically involve talking, reflecting and trying out small ways to cope between meetings. Christine encourages clear goals and reviews progress together. She gives straightforward tools and practical exercises when they fit the client's needs.
People come to her for a range of problems from panic attacks and obsessive worries to difficulties after childbirth and sexual assault. She is open to working with international clients and conducts her practice in English. To begin, clients follow the site's process to match and book a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience. The counsellor listens closely and supports people to find their own solutions. It helps when someone needs space to understand their feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and panic symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers simple skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping. It includes techniques for distress tolerance and emotion regulation that can be practised between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, try methods in session and adjust based on what helps. This is a collaborative process where the client's needs and preferences guide the choices.

Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow quieter check-ins that do not require travel and let people use shorter sessions or flexible timings to suit practical life demands.
