About Christine
Christine Gerstenberger is a counsellor and therapist based in the United Kingdom with five years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and struggles with self-esteem. Christine aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what matters to them and begin small changes.
She uses straightforward methods drawn from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings, and on noticing what gets in the way of feeling rested and balanced. Sleeping and rest concerns are included among the areas she supports.
Christine also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas to strengthen how people relate to themselves and others. That can mean talking through unhelpful patterns, learning new ways to manage strong feelings, or building routines that support sleep and daily functioning. The work is paced to each person’s needs.
Her experience includes helping with grief, relationship and family difficulties, ADHD-related challenges, mood disorders and coping with life changes. Christine describes her style as sensitive and compassionate, tailoring plans to each person’s situation. She encourages practical steps and honest conversation.
If someone is ready to explore change, she supports them to set achievable goals and notice progress. The focus is on usable tools, clearer thinking about choices, and rebuilding energy and rest over time.
How key approaches guide online therapy
Christine often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based actions. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and issues that interfere with rest by teaching small behavioural experiments and acceptance skills.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers practical strategies for sleep, worry and mood, such as testing unhelpful beliefs and building steady daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit someone’s goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
