About Christine
Christine Gooddy uses a client-centred approach as the base of her work. She places the person seeking help at the heart of sessions and adapts methods to match each individual's needs. Christine draws on her 13 years of experience supporting adults who have been through trauma and other hard times.
She speaks plainly and aims to make space for people to feel heard and understood. She has extensive experience with trauma, grief and depression, and with problems around relationships, anger and self‑esteem.
Background and approach
Christine also helps people facing career uncertainty, midlife shifts, postpartum depression and the strain of caregiving. Her additional focus areas include issues such as guilt, shame, self-harm, hoarding and sexual assault and abuse. Christine combines client‑centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy and elements of the Gottman Method when it fits the person’s goals.
She describes her style as calm and compassionate and aims to help people find practical coping strategies. Sessions tend to look at how thoughts, feelings and bodily reactions connect and what changes are useful day to day. She understands depression from personal experience and uses that insight to guide practical steps toward recovery.
Christine has also worked in group settings with adult survivors of historic abuse, as well as in one-to-one work. Christine is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. She offers a listening space for people ready to talk through painful experiences and to build tools for moving forward.

Online support
Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how traumatic events affect thoughts, feelings and the body. It offers ways to reduce the hold of traumatic memories and to develop coping skills for flashbacks, anxiety and mood changes. This work can be paced to what the person feels able to manage during online sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christine will work together with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That means checking in about what is helping and adapting techniques over time so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to join. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or days when speaking feels difficult. Overall, online options give flexibility and more ways to keep therapy consistent around work and family commitments.
