Christine FlemingBACP

Christine Fleming is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and the emotional impacts of pregnancy and childbirth. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma or compassion fatigue. Christine aims to make the first step feel less daunting and offers calm, steady support throughout the process.

She uses a straightforward, person-centred way of working. That means conversations focus on what matters to the individual and on building trust. Christine listens without judgement and helps people name what they are feeling before deciding what to try next.

When practical tools are useful she draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, helping people spot unhelpful thinking and test small changes. She also uses elements of dialectical behaviour therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills when strong emotions feel overwhelming.

Christine trained in the UK and holds BACP registration, and she brings four years of professional experience to her work. Her background includes helping people with mood disorders, panic and obsessive worries alongside trauma-related issues.

Sessions are relaxed and paced to the person’s needs. Christine focuses on clear steps you can use between meetings, such as breathing exercises, simple behavioural experiments or communication strategies. She invites questions and aims to make each session useful and manageable.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Christine commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy to build a trusting relationship by focusing on the person's perspective and priorities. This approach centres conversations on what the client wants to talk about and encourages open, non-judgemental listening.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behaviour changes to test new ways of coping. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques are used when learning emotion regulation, grounding and distress tolerance skills is important.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. Christine will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that suit the person’s needs. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.

The original profile did not list specific online session formats. Please confirm which session types are offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try talking from a familiar setting and use practical tools between meetings to support change.
