Christine Asikuru, BACP

Christine Asikuru is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She holds BACP registration and works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, eating and body image issues, and challenges like ADHD or compassion fatigue.

Christine combines listening with practical ways to help people make sense of their feelings. Sessions focus on spotting unhelpful patterns and trying small changes that can improve daily life. She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can reflect and build inner strength.

Her background includes work in educational settings providing one-to-one and group counselling to students and parents. In private practice she has provided face-to-face and online sessions, including video calls and telephone work. That experience informs a flexible style suited to different needs.

Christine draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She uses client-centred principles alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas, with mindfulness and emotionally focused methods when helpful. This blend supports emotional understanding and practical coping skills.

Sessions can also address specific themes such as attachment and abandonment, communication problems, caregiver stress, codependency and career concerns. Christine helps people work through difficult life changes and build clearer ways of relating to themselves and others.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing small behavioural changes to reduce distress, which often helps with stress, anxiety and mood problems. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the person’s own pace and priorities guide the work; this approach supports self-understanding and emotional processing.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, daily challenges and preferences, then suggest which methods to try. That choice is reviewed over time so the plan can be adjusted if something isn’t helping.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is low, live chat can be a shorter check-in and messaging lets people write between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while still accessing registered or accredited professionals.
