About Christine
Christine Gerstenberger is a counsellor with five years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety and low mood. She is a BACP member and works in the United Kingdom. Christine aims to make sessions feel respectful and compassionate for each person who reaches out.
She uses approaches that focus on values, relationships and practical thinking. That can mean spotting unhelpful habits, trying simple experiments between sessions, or looking at how early attachments still shape present reactions.
Background and approach
The emphasis is on small, manageable steps rather than sudden fixes. Christine tailors her work to the individual. She listens first, then helps people set short-term goals they can build on.
This might include learning tools for panic attacks, planning better sleep routines, or finding ways to manage workplace stress and decision-making. Her background includes work with mood disorders, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, and situations that involve grief or major life change. She also supports people dealing with anger, compassion fatigue and repeating patterns such as control issues or communication problems.
Sessions are practical and conversational. People can expect to try techniques in session and reflect on what works afterwards. Christine focuses on helping someone feel steadier and more able to take next steps in everyday life.

Online support
Choosing an approach is often part of the work. Christine will talk through options and try methods together to see what fits. The collaboration helps set goals and adjust techniques if something does not feel useful, so therapy evolves with the client's needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when less bandwidth is available, live chat provides a quick check-in and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and daily routines while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional wellbeing.
