Christine Burcham, BACP

Christine Burcham is an integrative humanist therapist registered with the BACP, the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in the United Kingdom. She combines different therapeutic methods to match each person’s needs, drawing on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, and client-centered practice. With five years of professional experience, she supports people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, addictions, and issues related to sexuality and family dynamics.

Christine creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where individuals can explore what matters to them and begin to make practical changes. She believes people are the experts in their own lives and works collaboratively to clarify values, understand patterns, and develop new ways of coping. Therapy sessions focus on helping clients feel calmer, stronger, and more able to manage life’s challenges, whether that means addressing mood concerns such as depression or bipolar, navigating parenting and career transitions, or working through intimacy and communication problems.

Offering sessions in English across the United Kingdom, Christine provides flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Her integrative approach allows her to tailor interventions to each person, blending techniques to suit individual goals and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Christine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and build practical habits that support a meaningful life. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward personal goals, which can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current emotional responses. This work can support people dealing with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship difficulties by fostering safer ways of relating and expressing needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Christine treats this as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time to ensure the best possible fit.

Online therapy with Christine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from a registered professional without major disruptions to daily life, and they allow therapy to continue when in-person meetings are not practical.
