Christine Fleming, BACP

Christine Fleming is a UK-credentialed therapist with four years of professional experience who supports people navigating stress, anxiety and depression. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her training and adherence to recognised professional standards. Christine works collaboratively with each person to understand their situation and priorities, tailoring conversations to the needs that emerge during therapy.

She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly, and she encourages clients to take the steps that feel right for them. Christine recognises that asking for support takes courage, and she offers steady, compassionate guidance as clients work toward a more fulfilling and balanced life. Her practice emphasises practical understanding and emotional care so people can build coping skills and move forward at a pace that suits them.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Christine draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to support people in different ways. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping the person explore their own goals and values - it is useful when someone needs a supportive environment to process feelings and make personal changes.

CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to reduce distress and manage symptoms; it is often helpful for anxiety, low mood and patterns that interfere with daily life. DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships and tolerating distress, making it a good fit for people who need structure around emotional regulation and interpersonal challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine will work with each client to assess needs, goals and preferences and then tailor techniques from these approaches so therapy fits the individual rather than expecting the person to fit a single model.

Online therapy offers practical benefits - clients can meet by video call or phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging when that suits their schedule. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support in a flexible way from registered professionals and therapists.
