TZENG, Christine

Greetings! I’m Christine, a registered and accredited British/American counsellor and psychotherapist. Through my online counselling practice, I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment to explore concerns and find practical solutions. I specialize in supporting internationally-minded individuals through life transitions, mental health challenges, and everyday stresses and I am an LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapist.
Originally from North Wales in the UK, I have lived and worked in several countries and I hold both British and American citizenship. After moving to Yokosuka, Japan in 2014, I worked as a school counsellor and behavioral consultant, before starting my own online therapy practice.

I have a Masters degree in Counselling from Monash University, Australia and I am registered and accredited with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). In addition, I am board-certified in Applied Behavior Analysis.

I specialize in helping people to believe in themselves, feel more resilient and able to cope, and build healthier relationships.
My approach to therapy is integrative, which combines a blend of therapeutic and wellness modalities:
