About Christine
Christine Burcham is a counsellor who works from an integrative, somatic-informed perspective. She uses body-aware methods alongside talking therapies to help people manage anxiety, stress, low confidence and relationship worries. Christine holds BACP registration and aims to create a calm, practical space for people to speak openly about what feels hard.
She prefers plain spoken sessions where a person’s own experience guides the work. Conversations look at thoughts and feelings, and at how the body holds tension or distress.
Background and approach
This approach can make it easier to notice patterns that keep someone stuck and to try small changes that help day-to-day life. Christine draws on a mix of methods depending on what an individual needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive tools. Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to the person’s comfort.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her background includes five years of direct counselling experience and prior work in social care and the NHS supporting people with mental health and emotional difficulties. That experience informs how she explains options and supports practical coping skills.
People often come for help with anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship strain, as well as issues such as grief, addiction, parenting pressure and ADHD. Christine works in English and practices in the United Kingdom. Bookings use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Approaches that work online and in the body
Somatic-informed work pays attention to physical sensations and breath as clues to stress and tension, helping people notice and shift patterns that affect mood and relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small, committed actions to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful living. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns show up now and help people find safer ways of relating to themselves and others.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk through options and try ways of working together to see what fits. This is a collaborative process that matches methods to a person’s goals, comfort and pace.
Online sessions include video calls, phone work, live chat and text messaging to offer flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and to continue work during busy or difficult times. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, grounding techniques and conversational therapy to these formats so practical tools can be used between sessions.
