Christine Fleming , BACP

Christine Fleming is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also helps those coping with trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. Christine aims to make the first step into therapy feel more accessible and less daunting. She creates a welcoming space where clients can share thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions focus on listening first, then working together to decide practical next steps. The tone is calm and straightforward so people can talk about what matters most to them. Christine uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow each person’s priorities and pace. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills for emotional regulation when needed. These approaches support a range of concerns including panic, obsessive thoughts, mood shifts and social anxiety. With four years of professional experience and BACP registration, Christine offers grounded, practical help rather than quick fixes. She supports people through pregnancy and childbirth challenges, postpartum depression, sexual assault and domestic violence-related distress. Work may include coping plans, communication strategies and steps to manage intense feelings. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online so people across regions can connect. The emphasis is on collaboration: Christine and each client agree goals and adapt methods as therapy progresses.

How Christine's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the person's lead and offering empathetic listening. It helps people feel heard and decide what matters most to them in therapy.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour. It uses practical exercises and experiments to reduce anxiety, panic attacks and unhelpful moods.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. These tools can be useful for mood instability, self-harm urges and overwhelming stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss goals, try methods together and adjust as needed so therapy fits each person's needs and preferences. This collaborative process helps shape session focus and pace.

Online therapy offers choice and flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when clients prefer not to use a camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, notes between sessions or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping focus on practical progress.
