Christine Fleming, BACP

Christine Fleming is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She also supports those affected by trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue and major life changes. Christine describes therapy as a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings and make practical changes.

Christine has four years of professional experience and holds BACP recognition, which reflects her UK credentialing. She aims to make the first step less daunting by offering steady, empathic support while people work towards clearer days.

Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions focus on listening first, and then on small, realistic steps the person can try between meetings. She balances a caring presence with practical tools that help manage symptoms and restore daily functioning.

Christine uses approaches that include Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). She adapts these methods to the concern at hand, helping people build coping skills, reduce negative thinking patterns and manage overwhelming emotions.

People seeking therapy can expect straightforward language, short-term strategies when useful, and a focus on what feels manageable in everyday life. Christine works alongside each person to set goals and check progress as they go.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement, follows the person’s lead and helps them find their own solutions; this is useful for building self-understanding and confidence. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions; it uses practical strategies and exercises to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, DBT, emphasises emotion regulation, distress tolerance and effective communication to help manage intense feelings and impulsive behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time and checks in about what is or isn’t helping so the plan can change as needed.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. It can also suit people who prefer focusing on skills practice or talking from a familiar setting.
