Christine Burcham , BACP

Christine Burcham is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom who brings a practical, person-focused approach to helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges and a wide range of emotional difficulties. She works with individuals facing issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, addictions, and mood conditions including depression and bipolar disorder, and offers support for concerns around family, intimacy, parenting and career transitions. Christine also supports clients coping with ADHD, compassion fatigue, eating and sleeping problems, and a variety of additional life stresses including chronic illness, caregiving strains and separation.

Drawing on a blend of established clinical approaches - including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy - she tailors interventions to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. As a BACP member, she aligns with professional standards for counselling and psychotherapy in the UK and emphasizes collaboration, respect and clarity about therapeutic goals. With five years of practice experience, Christine aims to create a supportive space where people can explore thoughts and feelings, build new coping strategies and move toward greater emotional balance and resilience.

She provides services in English and works with adults from diverse backgrounds and identities to find practical, compassionate ways forward.

Therapeutic approaches for online support and flexibility

Christine integrates several well-established therapies to meet different needs and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility through mindful acceptance and committed action, which can be helpful for avoiding avoidance and managing difficult emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns and emotional bonds formed early in life to improve current connections and manage relational or intimacy-related issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine works with each person to understand their priorities, preferences and what feels most workable, adjusting methods over time to better fit the individual’s needs and goals.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as easier scheduling, reduced travel time and the option to meet by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. These modalities increase flexibility and make it easier for people with busy lives, caregiving responsibilities or mobility limits to engage consistently with therapy while using the therapeutic approaches that suit them best.
