Christine Asikuru
Practical, person-centred support for life changes
About Christine
Christine Asikuru welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. She offers a calm, straightforward approach that helps people talk through relationship strain, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and life changes. Christine is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known as BACP, and she works from the United Kingdom.
In sessions she uses a person-centred stance that treats the client as the expert on their own life.
Background and approach
That means listening closely, reflecting what is said, and helping people notice patterns that keep causing pain. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help change unhelpful thoughts and practical ACT and mindfulness exercises to build flexibility and tolerance for difficult feelings.
Christine has spent nine years working in counselling, including time in education delivering one-to-one and group work with students and parents. More recently she has offered individual appointments in independent practice using face-to-face meetings, video calls and telephone sessions. People who meet with her can expect a gentle but focused way of working.
Conversations aim to clarify what matters most, identify small steps forward, and practice strategies that fit everyday life. Christine supports exploration of issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, eating-related concerns and compassion fatigue. Sessions are structured around each person’s goals and pace.
Over time the work is intended to increase self-understanding, reduce distressing patterns and strengthen coping so people feel more able to manage relationships, work and daily demands.

How Christine’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what truly matters and take small committed steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions by shifting attention toward meaningful action.Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens, reflects and supports self-understanding so people can find their own solutions; this can be useful for improving self-esteem and navigating relationship concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods together in a collaborative way. That may mean combining person-centred listening with targeted CBT or mindfulness exercises depending on what the person wants to focus on.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions around life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or when written reflection feels easier. These options give flexibility for different days and different tasks while keeping the focus on practical steps and personal goals.
