Christine Asikuru

Christine Asikuru is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to help people dealing with relationship stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and other life pressures. She is a BACP member with nine years' experience and works with adults and young people. Christine writes in a warm, non-judgemental way and focuses on helping people make sense of their feelings.

In sessions she offers time to talk through problems that are affecting daily life. Christine helps clients notice patterns in thoughts and behaviour and supports them to try different ways of responding. She draws on several approaches to match each person’s needs rather than using a single fixed method.

Her background includes work in educational settings where she provided one-to-one and group counselling to students and parents. Her training includes a BA (Hons) in Counselling, a foundation degree at diploma level 5 in Counselling and Psychotherapy, and a CPCAB certificate in counselling skills and studies. She also holds a Makaton for professionals certificate of attendance.

Sessions are presented with a person-centred focus, aiming to help people build inner strength and clearer self-understanding. Therapy can address a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, grief, eating and body image concerns, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Christine encourages practical steps alongside reflection to help clients cope with change and difficult emotions.

She offers work that combines talking, reflection and practical strategies. People thinking about counselling are invited to consider what they want to achieve and to discuss how different approaches might help.

How these approaches can help online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, feeling stuck and coping with life changes.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding without judgement. This approach helps people talk through emotions and build greater self-understanding and self-compassion.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical skills to break unhelpful patterns. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression and clearer day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods to see what fits. The process is collaborative so the client and therapist decide together how sessions proceed.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the session formats available before booking. The therapist's biography mentions face-to-face, Skype, Zoom and telephone in past practice, so check which of these are currently offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work and family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options when travel is difficult. They still support reflective conversation, skill practice and planning for everyday life.
