I see you, your story, your survival strategies, your values, and the meaning behind the way you have learned to protect yourself. Before I see your symptoms.
Hello, I’m Chris Espinelli, a Qualified Integrative Counsellor, MBACP, and Level 5 CBT Therapist.
I believe therapy begins with seeing the person before seeing the symptoms, the diagnosis, or the struggle. You are not simply “an anxious person”, “a people-pleaser”, “too sensitive”, “too emotional”, or “difficult”. Very often, the ways we think, feel, respond, protect ourselves, avoid conflict, overgiven, shut down or become overwhelmed.
My approach is trauma-informed, integrative, neuroaffirming and faith-affirming. This means I work with the whole person: your life story, your nervous system, your relationships, your thoughts, your emotions, your culture, your values, your identity, and, when important to you, your faith. I believe that therapy begins with understanding the whole person.
I’m neurodivergent and have lived with ADHD all my life. My personal journey, including experiences of depression, postnatal depression after the birth of my first daughter, and grief following the loss of my father, has deeply informed how I understand emotional wellbeing and change. I bring that sensitivity into my work, and practical strategies.
