Hi, I’m Ed Christmas. I am a qualified counsellor and hypnotherapist, having trained and practiced integratively since 2018. I offer both online and face-to-face therapy from my studio in Bentley, Suffolk, from the Stephenson Centre in Ipswich, and at the Natural Health Centre in Woodbridge, Suffolk. I have a particular interest in working with clients to help them recognise and address their conditioning and trauma. Often, it is the things that we learned or were told along the way that are problematic - about ourselves, others and the world - about our past, present and future - about our purpose and our identity.
Often, it is these layers of meaning that are in the way of us seeing and being ourselves. Therapy can therefore help to look safely and respectfully explore these layers, progressively move deeper, and begin to emerge and thrive - more fully and completely our selves.
All change is a journey, so by working with me, you will be given a space where you are free to bring everything you are, in your own way and in your own time. Together, we can use this shared space to explore and work towards whatever issues or goals you have in your life - knowing that there is a way to move forwards - towards peace and greater unity.

Experience is accumulated throughout our lifetimes, as we learn from all the situations that we are faced with. Though I have been in training and practice since 2018, we are all more than our certificates. I am, however, qualified in humanistic counselling, CBT and psychodynamic counselling at MSc.

I focus in particular on exploring the negative effects of trauma and conditioning. Alongside this, I have a particular focus on working with people with autism and other neuro-divergence, as well as people from the LGBTQ (and other) community. Our focus will always be to understand the complexities of your world, and on relating to them in more nurturing and empowered ways - promoting growth.
