About Christiane
Christiane Alfred welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about next steps. She helps with stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem, relationship strain and parenting concerns. Her approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at making change feel doable rather than overwhelming.
With three years of counselling and psychotherapy experience in the United Kingdom, Christiane uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws on client‑centred listening to understand what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help change unhelpful thinking and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. Sessions are set up so people can speak honestly without fear of judgement. Christiane works with individuals aged 16 and over, including adults at different life stages.
She also supports concerns such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, and family of origin problems. Practically, she offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging to fit different routines and preferences. She works in English and Shona and accepts clients from outside the United Kingdom.
Christiane encourages small, steady steps towards clearer goals. She helps people identify what they want to change, practise new ways of coping, and review what is working. The aim is to build everyday skills that make a real difference to mood, relationships and day‑to‑day life.

Approaches Christiane lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to help reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful habits.
Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to patterns that repeat across relationships and time. This can help people understand why they respond in certain ways and open up different choices for the future.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which blend of methods fits best. That way sessions stay focused on what the person wants to change and how they prefer to work.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow a face‑to‑face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check‑ins, and text messaging helps people keep a record of thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and daily routines.
