Counselling in South Holmwood

Are you facing challenges in your personal or work life or issues over which you have no control such as loss, health, or any crisis, (big or small)? Are you looking for a therapist who offers respect, understanding, validation of you and your unique circumstances and who provides an environment of trust where you can both work collaboratively to explore your way of 'being in the world' and where you will gain and develop your inner resources and resilience and where together you will discuss different perspectives and choices to make to improve your quality of life? Your therapeutic journey is an opportunity for transformation!

Are you experiencing a difficult or challenging time in your life? Perhaps you are feeling stuck and unable to move forward? Whatever your reason for considering therapy and viewing my profile, it is often the case that we 'hit the wall' or 'crash' emotionally before we can identify that we may need professional support. When our usual coping mechanisms no longer work the struggle can be overwhelming. As your therapist I recognise this as your first and critical step toward positive change. You are, I'm sure, familiar with the phrase 'if you do what you've always done...you get what you've always got' and how true it is.....

I have over 10 years experience in supporting individual adults and couples. I know the first step can feel daunting, which is why I offer a safe, warm and relaxed space for us to work together. Counselling is a very individual process, and everything I do will be centred around you. We will go at your pace so I can make sure your needs are met, in order to help you enhance your life and enable you to live it more fully.

Hello, my name’s Christine - thanks for pausing to look at my profile. I help people navigate their way out of pain, worry and sleeplessness. As a psychotherapist and physiotherapist I have a special interest in helping people with long-term conditions and pain. Our knowledge about pain has changed so much and so has the way we approach it. With me you’ll learn to understand your pain and its connections. We use the mind to help your body and your body to help your mind.

Are you finding it hard to cope at the moment, dealing with a crisis or significant change? Are you struggling to concentrate, feel tense and on edge? Maybe you feel disconnected from others and your relationships are suffering? Or are you an adult or teen experiencing anxiety or depression? Gaining insight into what may be driving the behaviours/patterns that are causing the problems in your life, will provide you with an opportunity to shift your mindset to live a more balanced life and improve the quality of your relationships.

Coming to counselling for the first time can be daunting and may take some courage. I would like to offer you a safe, confidential, non-judgemental, neutral space to work through difficult feelings, gain insights and help you move forward. It may be separation or loss that has brought you to this point. Perhaps you are suffering from depression, anxiety or relationship difficulties. It may be past traumas that are affecting you. It could be a vague sense of dissatisfaction and a search for a greater sense of meaning that is the source of your discomfort. Whatever the issue, counselling with a skilled counsellor can guide you through

If you are feeling anxious, depressed, stuck or are having difficulties with relationships, I offer a safe, confidential environment to explore these problematic issues which prevent you from getting the most out of your life. Whatever difficulties you’re feeling, working with a counsellor can give you the opportunity to talk and understand yourself, your life and your relationships better. Gaining this insight puts you in a stronger position to begin growing in confidence and start to make the changes or find the peace you want in your life.

We seek psychological help for many reasons. Not only can psychological therapy help when life feels intolerably difficult, but it can also make an “ok” life more fulfilling. Therapy can help to reduce emotional suffering, support change, and promote personal growth. It is a collaborative process and the insight gained can help us look at life from a different perspective and enable us to respond differently to life’s challenges. People often seek support when they are facing life transitions or feel stuck in their lives.

Throughout life we all experience times of uncertainty, but now more than ever it might feel hard to navigate the challenges thrown at you in this uncertain world. Whatever your concerns, I can offer you a safe, respectful space in which to voice and explore difficult thoughts and emotions without fear of judgement. Whether you have a specific concern such as anxiety, depression, panic, grief, or relationship issues, or a more general feeling of dissatisfaction, discontentment or unease, you do not have to struggle alone. Talking with a counsellor can offer restorative insight & perspective and help bring about positive change.

I work with adults, who have found themselves in an unwelcome place, with a range of concerns and psychological distress. I provide a confidential therapeutic space for you to explore and to work through what you are struggling with. This is likely to involve considering things that you experienced in the past to help to shed light on what is going on for you now.
