Christine Porter

Christine Porter is a BACP-credentialed counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people navigating anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, grief, workplace stress, communication difficulties, and major life changes. Her work is shaped by sensitivity and creativity, with an additional understanding of neurodivergence, abuse, boundaries, and the pressures that can come with caregiving and self-care.

With training that began in the early 2000s and includes both counselling and coaching qualifications, Christine brings a background in communication and personal growth to sessions. She describes herself as spiritually aligned and welcomes clients who value working with a counsellor who has a faith background. She also notes a focus on women clients, particularly those who want to rebuild confidence and reconnect with a more authentic sense of self after difficult events.

Christine views therapy as a collaborative process where therapist and client share responsibility for making the work effective. She begins by asking what a client wants from counselling, then works alongside them toward clear goals. Her approach is underpinned by person-centred counselling, keeping the client at the heart of the work, and she also draws on solution-focused counselling, with influence from cognitive-behavioural ideas about how thoughts can shape actions. She works best with clients who are committed to their own development and where there is a strong fit for the work ahead.
