Christine Foster , BACP

Christine Foster is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with 22 years of professional experience. She works in a person-centered way, meeting people where they are and focusing on the issues they bring into sessions while remaining open to using additional techniques when they may be helpful.

Her practice includes work with depression, stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and coping with grief and loss. She approaches each story with the assumption that the individual is the expert in their own life and that personal strengths can be central resources for navigating challenges.

Christine values the courage it takes to begin therapy and honours the decision to prioritise health and wellbeing. She aims to work alongside clients in a respectful, supportive manner and looks forward to collaborating with those who choose to start the therapeutic process.

Person-Centered and Existential Approaches in Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a non-judgmental, empathic environment where the client’s perspective guides the work. It emphasizes listening, validating experience, and helping people access their own resources to address issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and grief.

Existential Therapy invites exploration of meaning, values, and life choices. It helps clients reflect on questions of identity, purpose, responsibility, and how to live authentically when facing change, loss, or major life decisions.

Finding the most helpful therapeutic approach is part of the process. Christine Foster will collaborate with each client to identify which elements of these approaches best fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adapt the work as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate differing schedules, locations, and communication styles. These options make it easier for clients to access support consistently while balancing other life responsibilities.
