Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Christine directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How narrative and acceptance work online

Christine often integrates Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and looks for alternative ways to frame problems so they feel less defining. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. That might mean trying an idea for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or people prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between longer sessions and to fit brief coaching-style exchanges into a busy day. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to use alongside work, medical appointments, or caregiving duties.
