Christine Gerstenberger

Christine Gerstenberger is a UK-based counsellor with five years of practice helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She uses a warm, respectful style and tailors sessions to each person's needs. Christine works to support people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or isolated, and she aims to help them build clearer direction and greater resilience.

She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-based ideas to shape practical work. That means helping people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes and clarify what matters most to them. Sessions often include simple exercises, reflection and steps to try between meetings.

Christine also brings elements of client-centred counselling and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when helpful. This creates space for people to feel heard while learning new ways to cope with strong feelings. She commonly works with challenges like grief, low self-esteem, relationship and communication problems, and isolation and loneliness.

Her practice suits people facing mood or anxiety difficulties, obsessive thoughts, panic, sleep and eating concerns, or life transitions. Christine describes coaching-style support for goals such as career clarity and motivation alongside therapy for deeper emotional work. She emphasises patience and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How Christine's approaches guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying values and choosing small steps that move life in a meaningful direction, which can suit struggles like anxiety, depression and low motivation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. In practical terms it helps people test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours to reduce panic, obsessive thinking or low mood.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in close relationships and how they affect current communication and trust. This work can help with loneliness, relationship worries and difficulties with emotional connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christine will discuss options and help decide which methods match the client’s goals, needs and preferences. The process is collaborative and may combine elements from different approaches to suit the person.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and offer shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to take part from quieter surroundings or to choose sessions that suit their routine rather than requiring extra time for commuting.
