Christine Gooddy, BACP

Christine Gooddy uses a client-centred approach as the starting point for her work. She places the person in the room at the heart of therapy and adapts her style to fit each individual. Christine draws on 13 years of experience supporting adults who have survived abuse and people facing depression and major life changes.

She began training in Person Centred counselling and now blends that foundation with other methods to meet each person’s needs. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage difficult feelings and on building skills to cope day to day. Christine speaks openly about her own recovery from depression, which she says helps her offer down-to-earth strategies.

Much of her caseload has involved trauma and the emotional effects that follow. She has undertaken additional training to understand how body and mind interact, and uses that understanding to shape therapy choices. People can expect a calm and compassionate style that emphasises listening and steady support.

Christine also works with concerns such as grief, anger, low self-esteem and caregiver stress. She supports people dealing with career changes, midlife concerns, postpartum depression and issues linked to shame or guilt. Her approach is flexible and practical, focused on what helps the individual make progress.

To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short questionnaire. Scheduling is then arranged according to therapist availability and the service’s subscription system, which can be cancelled at any time.

How Christine blends approaches for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens deeply and follows what matters most to the client, helping them name feelings and priorities so practical steps can follow.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses straightforward exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for depression, anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic path. Christine works collaboratively, discussing goals and preferences so they can choose techniques that meet the person’s needs. That conversation helps shape whether more CBT-focused work or a trauma-focused pathway is most helpful.

For practical reasons, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life. It can reduce travel time and allow sessions to be scheduled around work, childcare or caregiving duties. If you want to book, confirm the current session formats offered before you begin so you know which options are possible.
