Christine Asikuru , BACP

Christine Asikuru is a BACP-registered counsellor practising from a private practice in North London. She holds a BA (Hons) in Counselling and additional accredited training, and she has spent seven years working in educational settings offering one-to-one and group counselling to students and parents. In her current work she provides individual face to face, Skype, Zoom and telephone sessions to adults and young people, adapting the format to each person’s circumstances.

As a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - Christine combines a person-centered core with a flexible selection of therapeutic methods. Her qualifications include a BACP-accredited foundation degree (level 5) in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a CPCAB Certificate in Counselling Skills and Studies (level 2). She also holds a Makaton for professionals certificate. These trainings support a practice that responds to the unique needs of each client.

Christine is known for a compassionate, open-minded stance and a non-judgmental approach. She works collaboratively with clients to explore problems that affect daily life, to identify and understand repeating patterns, and to develop clearer awareness of feelings and behaviour. Her aim is to help people build inner resources, make sense of themselves, and improve wellbeing across relationships, work and personal life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most and build a values-guided life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, low mood and some forms of trauma-related distress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance and the client’s own capacity for growth; the therapist offers a supportive, non-judgmental environment in which people can explore identity, relationships and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and it can be effective for anxiety, depression, stress and practical coping challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine will work with each person to consider their needs, goals and preferences and to select or combine methods that feel most helpful. That collaborative tailoring helps ensure therapy fits both the issue at hand and the client’s style.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter contacts are possible by live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy around work, study or family commitments, to maintain continuity when life requires travel, and to access licensed professionals from different locations.
