Christine Asikuru , BACP

Christine Asikuru welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. She aims to make therapy simple and practical. Christine writes plainly and listens closely so people can say what matters without feeling judged.

She offers one-to-one sessions that help clients understand patterns that cause pain. Conversations are used to notice unhelpful thoughts and to try different ways of responding. Sessions aim to build practical skills, stronger self-awareness and steadier coping for everyday life.

Christine has nine years of experience, including work in educational settings where she provided one-to-one and group counselling to students and parents. Her background includes a BA (Hons) in Counselling and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She also holds a Foundation degree diploma in counselling and certificates in counselling skills.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas, emotionally-focused work and client-centred listening. She adapts the way she works to fit what a person needs most in the moment. Clients can expect calm, straightforward guidance rather than technical jargon.

Sessions are offered in English and may be delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Christine accepts international clients and aims to help people address relationship strain, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, eating concerns, ADHD-related issues and life changes. She supports people who want coaching-style focus as well as traditional counselling.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to the booking process.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small steps towards what matters. It is useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviours to reduce symptoms like low mood, worry and unhealthy routines. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a non-judgemental listening stance where the person’s own insight and values guide the pace of change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine will discuss goals and preferences and tailor a mix of methods that suit the person. Together they will review what is helping and make adjustments as therapy progresses so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when video is difficult, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and to continue sessions from different locations.
