Christine Foster
Calm, person-centred support for life’s difficulties
About Christine
Christine Foster is a counsellor with 22 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She also supports those affected by trauma and abuse, grief and loss, addictions and issues around intimacy. Christine works with people facing career strain, parenting challenges, ADHD and self-esteem difficulties.
Her style is warm and person-centred. She starts by listening to what each person brings and treats them as the expert in their own life.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon. Christine aims to build a dependable working relationship where people feel heard and understood. Christine draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow the client’s lead and create space for honest reflection.
She also uses Existential Therapy to help people face big questions about meaning, responsibility and choice when life feels uncertain. Techniques are selected to match the person’s needs rather than to fit a single method. In sessions she will help people identify patterns, try new ways of coping and set manageable goals.
Work can include talking things through, learning breathing and grounding skills, and planning small changes to daily routines. Progress is often practical and task-focused, alongside time to process feelings. Christine works with people across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients.
Sessions are offered in English and can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How Christine’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person's own priorities. Online sessions use this approach to let the client set the pace, talk about what matters most and try small steps between meetings. It is often helpful for stress, anxiety, self-esteem and relationship concerns.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility when people face big life questions. In remote sessions this can help someone who is coping with grief, career crossroads, or a sense of emptiness by clarifying values and possible paths forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss what feels helpful and adapt methods to match the client’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where options are tried and reviewed together.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a quieter environment is available. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick reflections or people who prefer typing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and busy days while keeping the focus on meaningful progress.
