I'M CHRISTINA
I'm an experienced counsellor, psychotherapist and life coach. I use my skills and years of experience to work with couples and individuals on a wide range of issues. My areas of specialism include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationships difficulties, trauma, loss and bereavement. I work both online and in-person. I have supported clients within charity-based agency settings and now I run own private practice.
I work in a person-centred and integrative way to support clients. This means, I draw on a range of approaches including psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and existential counselling. My aim is to take into consideration all aspect of your needs, mental health and well-being, including physical, emotional, spiritual and relationship areas.
I draw on various aspects of relationship psychotherapy to work with couples at different stages in their relationship, marital and premarital. So, through collaborative work, couples can explore and understand their relationships and each other within an empathetic and understanding space. Our work together may cover aspects of sexual issues and difficulties that causes problems in your relationship. Also, I work with young couples dealing with growing pains. Furthermore, I help couples learn to deal with infidelity, conflict and resentment.
In my work as a life coach, I enable clients to be more self-aware of who they are as an individual, so that, they can become even more confident and empowered to succeed in life. I help clients transition through the key phases of their adult life and its issues to find personal fulfilment, achieve their career or business goals and aspirations.
Couple therapy, individual therapy and life coaching are 50-minute sessions. My aim is to create a compassionate and non-judgemental space for you to talk through your difficulties, so I can work with you towards your desired goals. Please contact me with any questions and to arrange a 15-minute initial consultation. The initial consultation is free of charge.
MY STORY
My personal story is one of discovering authenticity. There were times when I found myself following a path shaped by expectations, education, and established systems. I often questioned whether I was pursuing what truly mattered to me or simply doing what I believed I should do.
Over time, I encountered experiences that brought a deeper sense of purpose and fulfilment. What initially felt like detours became valuable lessons that equipped me with wisdom, compassion, and insight. I came to understand that no experience is ever truly wasted when it contributes to personal growth.
Through developing greater self-awareness, I learned how to embrace my authentic self, find peace in my own journey, and use my experiences to support others in discovering their own potential and purpose.
Recognising that it is never too late to change direction, I committed to the lifelong journey of self-discovery. It is a journey that continues to shape my work and my life. Once you begin living in alignment with who you truly are, the possibilities for growth become endless.
I write blogs to share the lessons, reflections, and insights I have gained along the way, with the hope of encouraging others to embrace their own journey with courage and intention.
