Christine Fleming , NCPS

Christine Fleming is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with life changes and issues that often affect women, such as pregnancy loss and postpartum depression. Christine works in English from the United Kingdom and draws on three years of professional experience.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She aims to make the first steps easier and creates a calm space for people to talk. Sessions focus on listening, understanding what matters to the client, and working out achievable steps forward.

Christine uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. She uses client-centred methods to follow a person’s pace and priorities. Cognitive behavioural ideas help spot unhelpful patterns of thinking and test small changes in daily life. She also draws on mindfulness and brief psychodynamic thinking when these fit the situation.

Her background includes work with volunteers and clients at two separate counselling charities, delivered both in person and online. She is a registrant member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, listed with the initials NCPS.

People who come to Christine often want practical ways to reduce anxiety, grieve a loss, or find clearer purpose after change. She focuses on gentle, doable steps and stays alongside clients as they try out new ways of coping.

How therapeutic approaches and online sessions fit together

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the client's pace and priorities. It involves listening without judgement and helping the person make sense of their own feelings, which can be useful for stress, low self-esteem and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety, panic or depressive symptoms.

Hypnotherapy can be used as a relaxation and focus tool to support behaviour change or reduce stress when appropriate, and mindfulness helps people become more aware of present-moment experience and calm racing thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to a client's needs, goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative so the plan can change as needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, chat can allow a brief check-in during the day, and messaging suits people who prefer written reflection. These flexible formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and busy lives while still accessing support from a registered professional.
