Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Christine directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
Approaches that shape online therapy
Christine uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their life stories and see problems as separate from who they are; this can be useful for issues like family of origin concerns, identity and persistent negative narratives. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then focus on values-based actions that matter to them. Client-centred work provides a listening, accepting environment where the person’s own experience guides the pace and content of sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christine treats this as a collaborative process and will explore what fits best with each person’s goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasise telling a new story, building acceptance and action, or focusing on emotion and thought patterns.
Online formats allow practical flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversational work and visual contact. Phone sessions can be useful when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work for shorter check-ins, reflective notes or when someone prefers typing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel.
