Christine Porter works from a client-centred and solution-focused approach to help people facing relationship strain, grief, anxiety and depression.
About Christine
Christine Porter works from a client-centred and solution-focused approach to help people facing relationship strain, grief, anxiety and depression. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and focuses on what a person wants to change. Christine is identified by her BACP credential, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Christine draws on four years of practical experience in counselling. She aims to create a calm, approachable atmosphere where people can talk through worries about work, family origins, communication problems and feelings of emptiness.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with anger, low self-esteem, stress, and life changes such as separation or fertility concerns. Her work often addresses additional needs like chronic illness, caregiver stress, neurodivergence such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and issues connected to ageing. Christine pays attention to how past family patterns and feelings of abandonment can shape current relationships and choices.
In sessions she uses person-centred ideas to keep the client’s goals central, and solution-focused techniques to identify practical steps forward. Conversations are guided by the person’s priorities, and the counsellor offers tools and ideas to try between meetings. People who choose Christine can expect a straightforward, goal-oriented style that balances emotional listening with practical planning.
The counsellor encourages commitment to change and works together with each person to agree on the next steps.

Approaches Christine 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
She also uses solution-focused therapy to break larger problems into practical steps. That method looks for existing strengths and small changes that move someone towards their goals, useful for stress, workplace issues and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will talk with each person about what they want and adjust methods to suit their needs, goals and preferences. The choice of techniques is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging work well for shorter updates, written reflections or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work and caring responsibilities and to keep momentum between meetings.
