Christine Gerstenberger, BACP

Christine Gerstenberger is a UK-registered counsellor and therapist with five years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and practical challenges. She holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and draws on that training to offer empathic, professional care tailored to each person’s situation. Christine has worked with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, guilt, shame, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and she adapts her approach to meet individual needs.

She believes in treating every person with respect, sensitivity and compassion, and in developing treatment plans that reflect each client’s goals and values. Christine frames therapy as a collaborative process, helping people take the first courageous steps toward greater wellbeing and a more fulfilling life. Her practice emphasizes practical support and emotional understanding so clients feel empowered to make meaningful changes and build resilience over time.

Approach-Based Online Therapy and Practical Support

Christine integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy into her online work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and guides them toward actions that reflect their values - useful for anxiety, low motivation and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotions, helping with relationship difficulties, communication problems and feelings of isolation.

Determining the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christine works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and achievable.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - so therapy can fit around work, family and daily life. For many people, these options make it easier to begin and continue therapy consistently, while still working with registered professionals and therapists who can guide change and coping strategies.
