Counselling

Happiness is a daily possibility because it is within our to feel a state of happiness. At any given moment, contentment and emotional freedom can be found, even in those times when it seems lost. It is a matter of learning how to make this a reality for you, each and every day.

How does counselling with Christine make a difference?

Counselling is the way I work together with you, the client, incorporating techniques that rely on verbal and emotional communication, to achieve your desired outcomes. In addition to cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), I help you learn the tools of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) or ‘Tapping’ and Mindfulness-based practices to assist with building a strong, healthy emotional pattern of responses.

My role as your counsellor is to listen fully, to be empathetic and authentic, and to provide open and intelligent communication. It is not my role to give you advice but rather to assist you in discovering and solving your unique set of underlying patterns of concern. Because communication is the vehicle of healing, a collaborative relationship between you as my client and me as your counsellor and is essential. This happens quite naturally as we proceed.

As your counsellor, I support you as you experience for yourself the transformative effects of these newly learned techniques. My counselling support lasts as long as you require it to, which usually means… until you are working confidently with these skills and techniques and observing a noticeable difference in your life. They’re easily transferrable and you will have them for life.

I provide an uplifting, warm, supportive environment enabling you to just openly be; to be fully heard, with empathy and understanding and without judgement. I myself practice these techniques and skills daily and therefore come from a place of direct understanding and lived experience.
